Added aftermarket Tow Mirrors, wanted the heated mirrors and if I was changing the mirrors, go big, right?
$220/pr plus tax off Amazon. 8 pin units. Power and turn signals work, unable to test the heat. So far I love the huge convex sections. Keeping very aware of the extra 5” on each side of the truck. My Explorer lost a mirror on a tight street when a jack wad took their half out of the middle and my wife clipped another backing into our garage (that we NEVER do!). No vibrations noted. Had standard power mirrors, no extra features. The smoked signal mirrors were another $30-40.

Bout some tow mirrors off ebay for "15-19" F-150 and they fit great, turn signals function as they should but turn out they dont have the passenger ambient temp sensor... But after a little factory mirror surgery that has been corrected and now I just to to figure out how to wire in the marker, puddle, and spot lights next.
I had "help" getting the sensor out of the factory mirror:

Towing mirrors
Alright, I've searched and searched and only got more confused.
I have an 18 STX with a temp sensor in the right mirror.
I want towing mirrors with heated glass and puddle lights.
Can this be done? Heated glass would be really nice, puddle lights would be good to have also.
Thanks for the help.
