I believe that the glass on your just prises off from the front, then you need to take the motor out, held with torx screws

Push the glass in at the bottom and see if there is a wire clip running across the top of the glass, if there is not, then you prise the glass and holder out

Thanks for that advise
after taking out the mirror lens and it motor
There is a spring clip at the base of the mirror frame which is visable with the mirror in its folded position , once thw clip is rleased the plastic outer body othe mirror just slides off the base.
It a very clever method , i can see now why its a £50 labour to replace the lamp, but all said the lamp assemble cam with all bulbs and holder and was approx £16 , so not too bad
