Default Vanity Mirror Question (assembly)

Like many C6 owners, the hinges on my vanity mirror have broken, and recently caused the battery to drain. When I was trying to figure out what to do, I fiddled with the vanity mirror and 2 metal clips fell from the visor.

Apparently these clips hold the mirror into the visor, but now I can't figure out where they go and how they hold the mirror in place. Does anyone have a diagram or can describe how to reassemble the mirror and these clip locations?

Also, I'm thinking of how I can remove the bulbs and eliminate the battery drain problem, but I can't get the bulbs out. I tried searching and the only thing I found was to somehow put tape around the bulb and pull.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

I thought the mirror lights (and other interior lights) time out after a while, like 10 or 20 minutes?

Supposed to prevent killing the battery.
