Changing side view mirrors in 2011 XLT?
So my truck has the stock side view mirrors, and I want to change them out for the bigger towing mirrors. Look at tascaparts, search 2011 Ford F-150, then click on Front Door, then Outside Mirrors, then Mirror. Right now I have the "Mirror Right - Manual w/o trailer tow 2011-12 - Manual w/o trailer tow 2011-12" and the left one, but I want to switch to "Mirror Right - Trailer tow w/o heat - Trailer tow w/o heat" and the left one. I know there is some wiring from the dial inside the truck which positions the actual mirror, would that complicate the switch? Or is it as simple as remove wire from original mirror and attach to new mirror and it will work the same?

I don't have the rear defrost. I am thinking of just assembling the new mirror, removing the existing mirror, and attaching the new mirror. Will I have to remove the interior panel that covers the area where the mirror attaches to? To tighten it and all that. I am new to this incase you can't tell.
