I thought about doing the swap on mine but I would lose the driver's side self-dimming feature that my stock (deluxe mirror package) mirrors have. I have really grown to like that little feature, so no towing mirrors for me until they add that self-dimming option to the driver's side mirror.

The puddle lamps are nice though as my wife's Mercury Mountaineer has them.

 

Very nice, glad it all worked out.

all parts and wiring diagrams are available from me also.

I was updating my gallery so my pictures got deleted from my original posts...

Here is a link to them....http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd93/4x406f150/Towing%20Mirrors%20Install/

Just wanted to let anybody know if they were looking for them.

 

just wondering if you still have the old factory mirrors and what you plan on doing with them and wondering if you would like to sell them??? well email me at t.schalk@ak.net if you are interested in selling them. Thanks.

 

They Look well nice

Mine will be here very soon ( I hope)

Wonder if the 2008 Trucks come with the Puddle light pre-wired into the mirror harness? True Plug and Play?

Yes, you should have the puddle lamp wire in place from what I hear, also it is true plug N play

as long as you have heated mirrors now or back window you will be good to go.

Yeah Full heat, electric and LED Turn.

The Mirror Heater button is on the Climate controler. Under the front window demist button

Thanks ..

The "demist" button?

Damnit. Now I have something else to envy... anybody who doesn't call it a defrost button.

 

looks good, i think i might do a swap

 

does anyone have a guide for removing the old mirrors, thinking about ordering some soon

 

Nice write up ..I will take advantage of that.
I have the same mirrors but have not hooked any thing up yet
Yep they look good and are much better mirrors IMO.

Good job

 

Diddo, it took me 30 seconds of staring at that word like a window licker to figure out how jealous I was...

 

FX4... Harley 9006 did a write up on taking off the front door panels and it helped me, so I added some pictures.... find it at:

Once you get the door panels off, there's just three nuts that hold the old mirror on.

 

my 05 had 4 bolts that held the mirrors on. Through me for a loop after reading these install how-to's.

 

Wow, those mirrors are ginormous! Looks great!
