I assume you are talking about the turn signal in the mirror itself? If so, there is not a replacement bulb for it. They are LED, you will have to replace the mirror. They were made by KW Muth and can be found at www.kwmuth.com .

My 2001 has the light on the oter edge of the mirror housing. Tilt the mirror all the way down and look in between the back of mirror glass and inside the housing, there are 2 silver clips at the top. with a small thin screw driver lift the silver tabs and the colored part of the mirror housing comes off. You then have access to the bulb. If you do a search on this site someone has a better discrition that I saw once. I replaced both mine in less than 15 minutes.

Hey gang! I am about to purchase an 01 Expy ED. Great truck. A lady owned it and she took great care of it. I'm picking it up for $5,500, thanks to me knowing the sales manager at the dealership.

I have noticed that neither of the turn signals on the outer rim of the mirrors are working. Could someone help me find on this site the "better description" for how to get to the bulb so I can replace it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
