I would have thought so. Easiest way is to pop the glass out of one and see if there are two plugs connected to it.

It shouldn't be that hard! Aim the mirror right up & flick the clip out at the base.

I thought a mirror was 8 years, but now i know its 14 divided by 2 is 43.032 years per mirror break, didnt even need a calculator for that.
