    The Mirror lights are LED devices and you can not easily remove them. You will have to find the equivalent LED and soldier it back in place EXACTLY the same way it cam out. You need to check the LED Legs and note the fatter leg vs normal leg. I don't know which LED they take.

    Do you have a strip that is yellow that goes on the outside of the mirror cover and is connected to the turn signals? Is this what you want? If so, Ford only sells the outer cover that has the LEDs. Here: http://www.fordparts.com Do a search for your truck.
