Yup, the hardest thing is getting the door panel off and then lining it up to get it back on, pretty easy install for the mirrors.

I tow a 20ft boat and my stock mirrors are going anyway, so i figured I might as well just replace them with tow mirrors. My truck will be lifted soon as well, so i don't think it will look that weird.

Ive noticed that the turnsignals look like they were pulled off of tow mirroors from a tundra. Does anybody know how I could hook them into my running lights?

its simple...just hook them to a light that comes on with the parkin lights (ex: i hooked it to the hot wire on the door lock switch and then judt grounded to the bolt that holds the door handle on so i didnt have to run wires into the cab). Then there is no turnsignal function

im not 100% sure this is correct but it seems like it...my tails have a led halo that i wired to make the halo light up as brake/signal an i hooked them like that so it seems like it should work up front too

This is what I need also, I had to use a tow mirror set up from an expy and am less than impressed with it. Care to share how you did this ? Did the mounting holes line up with the new mirrors? Thanks

I also have a screw and was wondering the same thing as 03Screw... Which ones did you order and if you don't mind sharing how your install went that would help too...

If you look at the second pic you see that the molding doesn't match up all the way. But to do the install you only need to drill 2 holes. They will be the back stud on the bottom, and the plastic stabilizer on the very top of the molding.

OMG! Yay for someone doing this on a SCREW. Which ones did you order? It actually doesn't look too bad with the molding not matching up entirely. However it's also a pic a night and you have a darker car. I wonder how it would look with a lighter paint color.

Can you take a pic in the day?

If I had to guess he ordered the same one as everyone else on here, and then he just made them fit his truck.

Did you use the original sail panels underneath them?

These look really good! I was just curious if anybody has noticed any change in mpg's after installing these mirrors?
