LOL, Yeah, I changed mine to blue, but I cant remember how I got the plastic out, it was that long ago. Think I pryed it out with a screwdriver. Dont recall there being a threat of breaking the plastic either...

They are very easy to pop out, just get a small flat head screwdriver and pull down the plastic from one side.
Is that easy i even done it in the dark before, as i've changed mine like 4 times.

Just make sure you don't dislodge the bulb clips in the mirror or they might short on the inside of the mirror and you might have intermittent electrical faults for several months
Help! Short Circuit!

Probably as good a time as any to encourage ppl to disconnect your negative battery terminal whenever you want to work on anything electrical in your car for this reason - to avoid anything shorting out!
Sounds like you've blown a fuse though. Most likely it's one of the ones in the box to the right of your steering column. Just check them all out
