By the way on the tow mirrors all you have to do for the turn signal is move the ground wire on the trucks wire harness so that it lines up with the harness in the mirror. And its only necessary to do this on the driver side then they will both work.

Thanks man! Honestly though, besides the amazingly clean look, I did this because I'm in the process of converting my Lariat into an FX4. So this was the next step in the process!

Ha I wish my fx4 came with that then i wouldnt have to worry about painting it. But I guess I'd have to do the faded black plastic part if it was painted. My truck has gotten too much sun over the years! I think it will look great when you do the tow mirrors though!

How do you remove just the mirror cap portion of the mirror?

You have to do the dreaded removal of the glass. The glass is attached by a square 'pivot' with 2 or 4 clips.. Each side of the pivot (allows mirror to be adjusted all 4 directions) has a clip (I think.. May just be 2 clips total).. Do the clip on the left or right first and the glass should come out and hang on the wires. There there is 4 torque screws to remove the housing from the truck. I think T20 or T25. The whole 'mirror' assembly comes off and you can just remove the cap from the whole thing.
