Where are you getting the schematics?It would help to remove the glass so you can actually get to the tabs but it can be done without doing so. Procedures below for both options

I ordered mine through a dealer and painted them myself. Part numbers I used- M2DZ-17D743-EAPTM and M2DZ-17D742-EAPTM. This is for the First Edition. Was about $78 a side.Did you order them thru your dealer? What was the cost?

I want to order the door handles but am not sure how close the paint will actually match. Would love to see how closely yours match when you get your Bronco.https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/painted-mirror-caps-and-door-handles-ordered.25886/
Ordered them from a shop in Florida. See thread above. Should have the link to the shop in there. He’ll paint them any color you’d like.
I got the mirror caps and all doorhandles for about $800 shipped. The mirror caps alone are about $300 if I recall. The handles were a little pricier because I have LUX so they need the smart key sensors.
So I got black even though my Bronco is Cactus Gray. I like the contrast.I want to order the door handles but am not sure how close the paint will actually match. Would love to see how closely yours match when you get your Bronco.
Thank you for the update and walk through!!So I just wanted to update with some pictures from this install. I'm working on a video from the other side, and I'll try to have that up shortly.
It really is as straight forward as the Workshop diagram shows. You can pull the glass, but you certainly don't need to- I did not. Here are the same four points shown in the diagram:
And from inside the housing... Shown in the following order: Top inner corner, top outer, side, bottom
Originally, I mistook the center tabs as locking points for the mirror cap. They are actually tabs for the marker light, so you don't have to worry about those right now. Just go in with either a thin flathead screwdriver or a good pick and pull up on the locks for each tab. When you have it all the way up and resting on top of the tab it'll click. From there I started along the bottom by the floodlight- you can use a non-marring pry tool or just your hands pull the cap away from the housing. I then moved to the top and lastly the side by the side spotlight. It'll come free. From there you can unplug the flood light (or just unclip it and remove it from the housing), unclip the sidelight and let it hang and swap your caps. That simple.

Hmm… I messaged him on Ebay and he told me that Cactus Gray is an easy color to match because there is no flake in it which leads me to believe he’s mixing his own paint.So I got black even though my Bronco is Cactus Gray. I like the contrast.
but they should match 100% whatever color you get because he uses OEM paint.
