You can use a flat screwdriver...gently put it on the edges of the mirror casing and lift all the way around. Done it few weeks ago and sunvisors already sold ;-)
Here's some photos.

Cheers for the pics & the link @Bigestly , just been out to the car to remove mine to double check, I'd tried before a while ago without success but didn't realise it was that simple. I've ordered some 5050 leds, finally a bulb in there that gives off some light.

It's great that you sorted it out mate. Looks good and gives much more light than usual bulbs :-)

They are different because if you look at the bulb in my visor picture it's a single LED poking its head out, the other pictures in this thread show the festoon type. No idea why mine were different....
