Mirror swap
I need some info on a mirror swap, went through old threads but couldn't find everything I needed.
My mom has a 2007 XLT with power mirrors without blinkers. The chrome caps on them keep coming off and don't really look that sweet so we were wondering about putting 09+ mirrors on it which brings me to my main questions
1. I saw somewhere the power function plugs right up on them, it's plug and play. Is the blinkers, and the part that moves the blinker all one plug or is it two plugs.
2. If it is plug and play for the power part, and the blinker is on a separate switch, can't I just wire the turn signals into the trailer harness.
If anybody that's done this could help me out it would be awesome!!

Its one plug for every option. Just take door apart unplug old mirror unbolt old mirror then install new ones pretty simple really just swapped my stock ones for tow mirrors takes maybe 30 min a side. Pm me if you have any questions. 07 should be just plug and play

Ya but no heat. Unless you have it now. I know my xlt didn't come with it. How ever if it dose have a defrost back window it might be there. Other wise to get heat to work you need a new fuse box a switch and run a wire. ( i think)

I have a set of xlt mirrors for sale no signals but would be half that price. Then youd just have to buy some chrome caps. Just thought id offer. Mine are "ford" brand

Yes signals will be there and should just be plug and play. Honestly very simple. When you do the change if you get stuck just PM me i have my phone with me all day.
