Can you add the lighted visor mirrors to an F-150? My truck did not come with them, and my girlfried is NOT happy about this feature being absent.

Can I add them? Are they, like so many things in the F-150, pre-wired so that all I need to do is procure the mirrors, or would these need wired? If they need wired, I assume all I would need is to splice into a non-switched 12V line?

Anyone tried this?

 

In the SUV models the vanity lamps are wired to the same circuit as the glove compartment/engine compartment: Fuse 14 (15A) out on Light Green/Orange. I couldn't say if the wire is up there or not, and you would have to find the lamps installed in a visor that matched your interior. I bought a battery powered vanity mirror that clipped onto the visor for a car I had a few years ago. I got it at WalMart and it cost less that $10. Sounds like the easier way to go.

 

Ask anyone, I have NEVER been accused of doing anything the EASY way

 

Easy Smeasy.........go get a visor out of the boneyard..........run a small gage wire if you have to but make it look stock......

 

Ok Phil, since you want to do things the hard way how about this:

Marry your girlfriend. That way 3 things will happen.
1)You won't have any money to do mods.
2)You won't have any time to do mods.
3)She won't be looking in the mirror anymore, because she's married.

Problem solved-The Hard Way.

 

LOL! Actually, I wouldn't be so sure about number 3. She's hair obsessed.

 

So, I pulled the mirror. No harness that I could find up in there. Anyone have a photo of what it looks like?

Also, is it just a single wire like other years where all I would need is to slice the 12V to it and the ground would come from the frame? or is the harness new?

 

When I added the Homelink transmitted I had hoped that the vanity mirror harness was up there so I could tap into it.

NO LUCK.

I just ran a piece of speaker wire from fuse box up inside the A pillar and under headliner and over to it.

Will have to do same for lighted vanity mirror on passenger side.
