two answers as I don't know what a mirror plate is.
to remove the whole mirror, place one hand on the front side of the mirror and sharply smack the glass side of the mirror. catch the mirror so it doesn't fall.
to reinstall, line up the forward pin of the three pins and push it until it clicks home. line up the other two pins and push them into place evenly.
to replace the mirror glass, follow step one, use a medium blade screwdriver at one corner and gently pry the glass out. pad the corner with a rag to prevent scratching the paint. if the mirror glass is stubborn, lift one corner then another corner. dont be timid.
to install the new glass, line up the round mirror socket and push the glass evenly hone until it clicks in. again, don't be timid or it won't seat. if your mirror rotating ball is broken, the mirror won't seat, the ball will have to be replaced. less than 10.00

Once the cover is off, locate the bulb holder, twist it counterclockwise to release it, and then pull it out. Replace the old bulb with a new one, reinsert the bulb holder by twisting it clockwise, and finally snap the cover back into place securely. Always ensure the vehicle's electrical system is off before starting the replacement.
