I'm getting ready to change out my plain XLT mirrors with the lighted vanity mirrors with Homelink. But, I want to change the bulbs to LED before doing so. I have tried to "remove" the bulb cover, but it feels like it's going to break.
Has anyone removed these covers and how did you remove them?
TIA.

When I did this last year I just ordered the pigtails for each side from ford and then wired them to a “key on” fuse so that the homelink wouldn’t work if the truck is off. From the factory the homelink is always hot. It was super easy and I think I was in it at like $10 or so for the pigtails. Pretty easy.

Yes, I made a harness.
I bought the “pig tail” connectors for the visors and used some solder seal connectors, heat shrink and harness tape.
Then I used positaps to tap into the overhead power.
Here is one of the posts I used to make my mod.
Overhead power wire depends on if you have moonroof or not.
