Looks great dude! Very nice. The dual blind spots must be nice too.
I would get a set if they had the drivers glass that 'auto dims' like my '07 Lariat does. I really do like that feature, even with 15% tint someone riding too close still blinds in but that does a good job at lessening glare. I would also smoke the LEDs a little darker so they are mostly noticed when blinking.
Do it!!!
He meant that he would paint the entire mirror plastic body stone green to match his truck, but have the chrome skull caps.

Yes, thanks for clarifying Darren. Although the painted caps don't look bad. If they auto dim it'd be a sweet deal, my drivers side does the same.
Its good to see a company doing oe quality aftermarket parts, makes it easier for us DIY and mod guys
Whats next on the list dixie?

I am thinking about smoking the clear LED lens myself. After one day of owning them, my only complaint is the actual reflective mirror, it looks like it could be of better quality, but other than that, I am really pleased with them
I wonder if you could replace the drivers glass with the OEM mirror glass, and swap out the wiring harness and if it would be plug and play.
Crap, just realized, the main point to these mirrors is the blind spot convex... Hmmmm.... Seems like buying the expensive 2011+ mirrors are the only way to get a drivers side auto dim, with the convex.

Well after 6 months of ownership, Im finally tired of the Towing mirrors. I have a love/hate relationship with them. Love the looks and visibility of them but HATE parking with them at work and people about taking them off going down the road.
I park between two support poles at work and each and every morning, I have to roll window down, pull mirror in, then finish backing up. Aggravating!
mine is the white truck. see all the stupid poles....
So I worked out a deal with a buddy on here (kozal01) and he is bought my towing mirrors and I bought with that money these mirrors:
I know chrome dont get you home, but it ties all the chrome together on my truck (step rails, LT Handles, and grill surround).
Im losing my puddle light capability on the towing mirrors, SOOOOO i ordered two of these off of ebay to compensate. I was going to mod them onto the bottom of the mirrors, BUT decided to put them on the bottom of my step rail instead
and here is the link for them if anyone is interested, not bad for $6 per light.

more pics to come when I get all installed

I posted these same mirrors about a month ago, had them on for a few weeks and they seem legit. The blind spot mirror takes soem getting used to but after driving it a little its not bad. Only issue for me is i couldnt get the turn signals to work, they work on the mirror but i couldnt get them wired up. Only difference is mine are the black caps.

on a side note, the customer service of these guys are GREAT. One of the chrome caps had a scratch, I emailed them on Ebay, they sent out a new one. I got it and it was the wrong side, so i emailed them again, and they are sending out the correct side and told me to keep the first one they sent. so if anyone is interested in buying these for their truck, here is the link. A great deal for $218 shipped
