This video shows how to dismantle the internal indicator of a Golf's wing mirror. It is a very simple operation.

Remove the glass from the mirror by gently prying between the frame and the glass (be careful not to break it). Unscrew the screws with a screwdriver located on the inside of the mirror. After this, remove the cover that matches the bodywork using a spatula.

Now disconnect the power connectors and detach the rear cover from the mirror along with the indicator. Finally, refit the new indicator and test the correct operation of the light.
