Thanks! Did you put resin over it at all to protect it?



It won't say specific what type of mirror it is. I enter the PN's that I listed above and also called and confirmed that it was in fact correct... It was
Ok. I just had someone email me offering to sell brand new mirrors because they won't fit in his garage. My lucky day!

On a more technical note, I currently do not have turn signal or heat on my mirrors, but I do have puddle lamps. For the mirror heat, do I have to do something special (i.e. add a new switch to the dash)? Like Labman said, you only have to switch around a couple pins, but does that hold for me if I don't already have the signals & heat? I'd really appreciate if you could clarify for me! Thanks!

I probably missed it, but is the $475 for the manual or power mirrors? Better be for power! With the power mirrors, the inside switch to fold them in will work just as it does now?

I paid $426.01 for both delivered, thats power,heat and signal leds. To my knowledge the F-150 does not offer power fold in the towing mirrors. I have all power on mine and there is nothing listed about folding. The only option you get is a puddle light and if yours does not already have it you can wire it up yourself.

Hey labman... I just realized that you got rid of your '06 and got an '08... What did ya do with the towing mirrors that you installed on your '06? Did you leave them on when you traded it in? If so, bummer! I would of bought them from you.

nope, my dealer friend let me switch them out. i wasnt about to lose that money. they didnt have very many with the mirrors on their lot so i picked one without them and just switched them. so my old 06 got some brand new autodimming mirrors on it now....

So I just have the normal manual fold mirrors on my 06 right now(no power, heat or turn signal). Are the wires in the door to hook up to if I order the towing mirrors with heat and turn signal?


Thanks
Josh

They became an option fo the 08 model year f-150's. I added them to my 06 direct fit replacement, just need to change the location of one ground wire for the led signal. Heat and power will work out of the box with no wire mods.

So I just have the normal manual fold mirrors on my 06 right now(no power, heat or turn signal). Are the wires in the door to hook up to if I order the towing mirrors with heat and turn signal?

I don't know, maybe someone else can help with that answer, you can order them in manual, but as far as adding the power you would also need to buy a new window/mirror switch panel for your door and hope all that will wire up to.
