2] Remove the bulb from the socket.

2] Install the lamp lens to the mirror housing. Insert the forward edge of the lens (1) (the edge nearest to the windshield) into place and push up the rear edge to snap in place.

Actually, it comes off just like most of the windshield-mount types do. There's a setscrew you loosen and then slide it up and away.

If your mirror is the self dimming, it will not have the set screw to remove. It is locked in by those two tabs you mentioned.
I just removed mine a while back and the instructions in the manual are not very good. I have heard of quite a few windshields de-laminating around the mirror when the factory manual is followed.
The best way is to get a small, round-jawed vice grip that will span both of those locking tabs on the mirror mount. The locking tabs are part of the mirror and will come off with the mirror as one unit. Simply adjust the vice grip so that it will lock onto the 2 locking tabs and the bottom of the mirror. You want to lock the tabs down so that the mirror will slide off of the windshield mount.
The mirror should slide off with no effort.
