How do you replace the puddle light bulb on a heated mirror on 2005 ford expedition?
The owners manual is of little or no help. I have an 04 Eddie Bauer with heated power mirrors, and turn signals & puddle lights on the bottom of the mirror housing. Some Ford engineer needs a swift kick in the rear for making this procedure harder than it should be. I removed mine, and only after breaking the lens did I figure out how to do it the right way.
The mirror assembly has a spring indide the housing on a rotating hinge. The hinge allows the mirror to rotate towards the window of the vehicle. You have to gently lift the rotating mirror assembly and gently rotate it out - so it points slightly away from the vehicle. This will expose the small hex bit screw that holds the turn signal lens on to the bottom of the housing. After the screw is removed, you need to use the power controls to move the mirror so it is pointing in - towards the vehicle as far as the power will let it. (remember - you are not moving the entire housing at this point, just the mirror itself.) Using a small flashlight, look behind the mirror on the outside lower corner inside of the mirror housing you will see a little metal clip that holds the outside tip of the signal light lens to the bottom of the mirror housing. Using a small flat screwdriver, gently push in on that clip so it releases the lens. Rotate the lens down, and out to get to the bulbs. Install in reverse order.
NOTE: A couple of hints: 1) The replacement puddle lamp bulb is a #920. Owners Manual says "see dealer" in the bulb list. 2) Make sure the hex screw in the first step is on the housing's bottom, not the one on the window side. That screw will not unscrew all the way, as there is an integral washer on the head that doesn't clear the housing, so the lens must pivot on the loosened screw, so just unscrew it as far as it will go and proceed. I turned it a bit hard and snapped the screw anchor portion of the lens--thank goodness for hard-set resin glue.
Wheeeew. what a pain!

Why is your reflection more clear in a mirror rather than in a puddle of water?
A mirror has a smooth and polished surface that reflects light rays in a more organized manner, creating a clear image. In contrast, a puddle of water has a rippled surface that distorts the reflection due to light being scattered in different directions, making it appear less clear.

What two worlds are interacting in Escher's Puddle?
In Escher's "Puddle," two worlds are interacting: the realistic, three-dimensional world of the reflections in the puddle and the abstract, two-dimensional world of the surrounding landscape. The puddle acts as a mirror, distorting and reflecting elements from the environment above while simultaneously suggesting depth and complexity. This interplay creates a visual paradox, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between perception and representation.
