Talking Question for first time F-150 Buyer

hey just got my new 2010 F-150 XL. Love it. but I noticed it just has the blinker on the mirrors capped.
Is there a way I could get LED aftermarket that fit this and is the wiring still in the mirrors??(prob Not)

If Yes wheres a good place to get them. Thanks!

You could probably hack (that being the operative term) some turn signals into the front of the mirror housings. The space in front that's capped off is just for a reflector.

yeah, there's that spot on the inside for the turn signals.

probably would just be easier finding some like new takeoff mirrors with the turn signals from somebody and swap with yours.

Do you have power mirrors? Being an XL I doubt that Ford would just throw those wires in there but ya never know. To find out for sure ya gotta pull em apart.

the LED turns might actually be available from Ford but I'm not sure if they will wire up that easily or not (inside of the mirror).

probably not many (09/10) have done it, but I recall alot of 04-08 guys just swapping out the entire mirrors in order to get the signals. Just bolt the mirrors and plug in the harness and call it a day.

Ah see I thought they all came with the little indicators on the mirror side of the mirror.

I doubt the wiring would be there at all then. Probably wouldn't take but a few minutes to yank off a mirror and check though.
