Easy way to tint mirror turn signal lenses?

Do those lenses on the mirrors pop off or anything? I know sick-tls had his tinted and I really liked it. I did some searching but could not find anything definitive.

Thanks

Gotta take whole assembly apart. Its not bad but think like 2-3 screws on backside holding blinker in. I bought used pair & tore down only reason I know. Could try light coats of VHT paint to tint??

I've already got a roll of tint for it or else I would do that ^

So by taking the glass off, I can unscrew the lens from the mirror housing?

Thanks

Worst part about ripping apart is getting glass off actuator JJH. I broke 1st one but I'm replacing so was no biggie to me. As long as take time, read up on breakdown unlike myself, should be fine. Like 6screws total in assembly. 2 for blinker
