How do I replace a 2012 RT Ltd's right turn lamp?

Did you check the Operator's Guide?

I don't have a copy of the 2012 guide, but the 2014 guide says the front turn signals are LEDs.

Yes, mine is broken. I'd like to know how to open the rearview mirror. I bought it used and don't have the manual. Thank you.

So, understand that it is an LED array, not a light bulb. About 160 bucks new. Part number 710001511. Used ones on eBay sometimes. The mirror shell is held together with tabs clicking into slots. It wasn't originally meant to be owner replaceable. Disassembly is not covered by the operator's guide or shop manual. But, here’s an installation instruction on installing the chrome mirror covers that were an accessory at one time. It covers how to open up a mirror:

Never did it myself. Just remember someone once discussing it. Take a deep breath, take your time, you'll be fine. Is it physically broken or just not lighting up? Assume that you have already checked the wiring and connector, and that the rear one is working ok?

I have found that sometimes the pins the plug will back out and not make good contact with the mating plug, check them out!!!

Here's a video from canamspyderaccessories.com on how to remove the mirror. The first time you do it, you'll feel like you're breaking it, but persevere, it will come off.
