Select th type F-150 you have, as if you are purchasing the mirrors, and one it shows the kit, you can download the pdf file for the install, which shows how to take off the door panel, and mirror head. Ignore the part about taking out the glass from the mirror head, as this is where you would put on your new heads.
Good luck
