Default Driverside mirror setup loose?

Another problem I recently discovered. The driversside mirror "setup" is loose. I tried to find a way to get it off but it was dark, so I couldnt see too much. How do one tighten the mirrorbase? I also found out that there were 2 lights under the mirror which doesnt light up. What kind of bulb fits into those things?

Many thanks

The entire plastic part moves around? Or just the glass?
Not sure of the bulb size. They should some on when the yellow button on the remote is pushed. I also think they come on when the car is unlocked.

the entire upper side of the plastic moves + mirror. Yes I thought so too about the lights, but they dont come on at all.

If the entire assembly flops that usually means something inside broke.
The part where it attaches to the door is tight correct?
It is loose at the hinge point correct.

For the light you can usually push the glass in on one side and using a flashlight and skinny long screwdriver see the tab for the light and press it and pop the light out.

Correct. I will go check it out more closely now, but as I remember, the lower part is tight but the big part above it was a little loose.
