You do not have to do what he did in that video, he took much more apart than necessary. I've had to change that light twice now. Also, if yours has the spot lights make sure to get the correct light.

Same here, I think the best price I found was somewhere around $120-130 shipped.
Keep in mind if you watch that PTT video that it is not a tutorial for replacement of that light, more of an overall breakdown of the mirror assembly. There are steps that you will be doing but also some that are absolutely unnecessary. You won't need to remove the entire assembly from the truck, you won't need to remove the mirror motors or the front plastic half like he does. The first step, that he doesn't do, would be to remove the puddle light from the bottom (and temp sensor passenger side), super easy. Next the mirrors, then screws (5), then release upper clips for the top cap, then work the whole back half off.

I replace my OEMa with these. They also have a video on how to take the mirror head apart.

Glad to see and hear that you don’t have to replace the entire side mirror assembly.

At $1500 a mirror, I may have gotten my insurance involved at that point. Depends on the deductible vs. claim ratio though.

Has anyone figured out how to remove the top cap without breaking off the center tab? I recently had to replace the entire drivers mirror ($1500) on my 2020 after smacking mirrors with an oncoming truck in VT. That WILL get your attention! The top cap was swapped from the old mirror and the center tab was broken off in the process.
