Telescoping mirrors

I'm looking for electric telescoping mirrors for my F-150. Any suggestions?

None exist that I know of unless you want to try some crazy retrofit of an F250/350 elec. telescoping mirror.

You want the to telescope electrically? Why? I can slide my mirrors out in about 2 seconds manually.

No just the glass. i guess I'm looking in the wrong places. manually telescope, electrically position the glass.

Oh, so you just want electric mirrors, but manual fold. The terminology is a bit misleading. Telescoping normally refers to the tow mirrors which extend outward to provide a wider view for wide trailers. Folding is the movement of folding the mirror body out for use, or up against the door to aid in tight parking spaces. Electric mirrors just refer to moving the mirror element itself.

That's what I was afraid of, I just think it would make the truck look a little more 'tough'.

Tascafordparts.com has them.
I just ordered a set for my truck last month. Under $300 for BOTH sides, shipped to my house. It was a Christmas present from my wife.
Part numbers are
7L3Z-17683AE
7L3Z-17682AE
These are power glass, heated, with turn signal, and puddle lamp. Manual fold and manual telescope. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Since you have an 07, it should be a direct bolt on and plug in. About a 30 minute job. If you already have puddle lamps the new ones will work also. If not, let me know and I'll tell you how to hook them up too! I installed mirrors for an 07+ on my 04. EVERYTHING works

http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/71...w-mirrors.htmlThis thread has EVERYTHING you need to know. BTW.... Tasca is a sponsor here and they are running a special till the end of the year. If I am not mistaken, it is like 10% over cost! The vendors name is tasca_josh and there is a thread currently open on the section of the forum. His AIM and his direct line are posted in the thread. The puddle lamps are a PITA to hook up, but well worth it. 2 wires and a splice tap and thats it. There are a ton of pictures and diagrams linked to that thread I posted.

Ya those are pretty sweet. May be a dumb question but you can get them without the chrome right? I'm blacking out my 150.
