Careful! What are you trying to do? Flush mount a switch or eliminate it?

Whether you can do it yourself depends on your ability to follow directions and whether you have a few simple hand tools. The mirror reference I did not understand.

Be sure to turn the power off before starting. The new switch plate should match the old one but make sure before removing the old one.
It can be done. But if your not familiar with what wire goes where, I'd call an electrician, be on the safe side, you don't need a fire.
