Do I need to remove the entire mirror assembly from the door?

You'll need to access the back of your existing mirror housing to remove the old glass and install the new lens. Most installs don't require full mirror removal — you can often work from behind the housing. Check your service manual for access points specific to your truck.

Does this come with mounting hardware?

The lens assembly is designed for factory mounting points. Bring a Phillips head screwdriver and flashlight — most hardware you'll need is already in your mirror housing from the OEM setup.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a shop?

This is a DIY-friendly job with basic hand tools and patience. The hardest part is working in tight quarters behind the mirror. If you're comfortable removing trim panels and working with small fasteners, you can handle it.
