Finally wiped the drool off my face after 3 years and gave my lariat to my business partner and picked one up. Next new some ideas on some easy mods. Still baffles me that ford won't make the mirrors to have blinkers from factory.

Awesome Raptor! There's three mods I recommend. I attached a video guide how to install them.
  • Ultra low-clearance skid plates
  • All white cloth interior
  • Tailgate delete

The FX4 has blinkers in the mirror's... I would have thought a raptor would have them?
Sweet Ride!

They do have the rear facing blinkers. I think the op is talking about the reflector in the front of the mirror.

What a beautiful truck and my favorite color too!

I ordered my FX4 as a "more practical Raptor", meaning better suited to my budget and moderate towing duties since there are no FoMoCo incentives nor typically much dealer discounting on Raptor. Adios 6.2L - glad I got mine!

I was referring to having the blinkers on the back side of the mirror. I have them front but not on back where opposing traffic can see them. This is my 3rd f150 and everyone I do the blinker mod for

I think you have your lights backwards.

The back of the mirror does have blinkers, the mirror side.

The front of the mirror looking from the front of the truck towards the back does not.

Recon and Azno sells light kits for our trucks to get what your wanting. You pop out the reflector and wire up the new blinker.
