theres away u can put them in the oven and heat them up then the lens will just pop off then u paint the inside and re-glue it back together

put them in the oven at 250 for 15 min. and dont have the lights touching the sides of oven and that will soften the glue up and u will be able to pull them apart then after painting do the same to put the back together i did some of a guy a while back at the shop

I'm not sure how to pop the covers off the mirrors but Im sure its not too difficult. Just take your time and be careful.

 

[chiech233]

they just pop off and have double sided tape

Yeah just pry in a flathead but be careful, it's just a couple tabs and some double sided tape, I just painted mine today.

biggest hint is be very careful I cracked a cover by pulling too hard
damn GM loaded on the adhesive on one side
I wouldn't paint them either find some from a different tahoe and ask to trade your plastic ones for the painted ones

be careful though my problem was I got mine from an 01 and I'm an 03 so they didn't match up perfect
