What you got Tony?

Sorry for the slow reply, just got back from vacation. We carry these tow mirrors which would allow you to retain your factory power fold switch.

They include power, heat, memory, power fold. They do not include a puddle light, they come pre-wired so that the side marker acts as your puddle light. This can also be changed. This kit includes two leads that plug into the brown wire which feeds the side marker, you can tap the lead into your turn signal circuit, or your parking light circuit. So there one of three ways they'll operate.

Hope this helps you out.

My questions is, instead of running a hot tap from the BCM. Could I just run a fuse tap from the parking light fuse and splice the diodes into pin 11 on both mirrors? I am installing the raptor grill lights as well and I plan running the lead wire into the fuse tap as well. Any thoughts on this?

If you purchased our mirrors this should help you guys out with the wiring feed to that side marker. Let me know if this helps to point you in the right direction. Tony

This kit includes two leads that plug into the brown wire which feeds the side marker, you can tap the lead into your turn signal circuit, or your parking light circuit. So there one of three ways they'll operate. They come pre-wired to the puddle light circuit. You should be able to just use the supplied leads and butt connectors to get a feed off the circuit that you would like.

A test light, will also help you to find the circuit that you're looking for.

Hi tony I have a 2011 f150 I need power fold,heated,memory tow mirrors . My question is do you have rear facing markers? And is there a kit for plug and play telescoping function with the factory switch and bezel? I think I know the answer to the telescoping question just granted to make sure.

Thanks for your time
Dan

Hi Dan, We currently do not have F150 mirrors that power extend. Did your truck come from the factory with power fold, or would you need the wiring kit to add this function on?

I need a bit of help on the tow mirrors, I have a 2012 F150 Platinum with the non-tow mirrors that have - Mem, heated, pwr fold, puddle, auto dim (don't think I missed anything) but I want a pair of the power fold tow mirrors. I know that I will lose some features (auto dim, puddle lamp) but according to 1ATony, he is not sure if any of his will work as he has not tried to replace any with the auto dim feature (yes, I know I will lose it). Has anyone replaced the mirrors on a Platinum?, if so which part number did you order.

Any help is appreciated, I have read most of this thread but have not seen an answer to this.

Received my mirrors today. Started at 11:00 pm done at 12:05. Wired for turn signals and running drl lights. Thanks for all the great info in the thread. I have a whistle on the passenger side but I'll try to take that tomorrow.

Default Looking for some advice

Hi Tony, I have a 2014 F-150 FX4. I have the stock mirrors that have power mirror adjust, power fold, puddle light, signal light, and memory. I've seen that most of the options for upgrades to trailer tow mirrors don't have the power fold option. Do you have an option that has the power fold option that will work with the options that I have?

These mirrors are power fold with memory. They are not auto dim, the side marker acts as the puddle light does.

The kit comes with two pigtails and a couple of but connectors, so you can tap the side marker into the running light circuit or the turn signal circuit if you wish to change it.

Hope this helps you out.

These would be the mirrors that you would want. They do not have the auto dim or puddle light on the bottom.

I haven't heard of any issues (yet) from no auto dim. Maybe someone can chime in.
