If you guys need help or have questions I can help you out. If you match all of the features that your mirrors currently have to the features of our tow mirrors, they should "for the most part" be plug and play.

Here's a link to the 2015-2017 F150 tow mirrors that we carry

Any chance you guys will ever have "pre painted" mirror caps with OEM colors available?

I’m interested in the ones will all of the options but the power folder/extend. I asked this on your website but never got a reply. Are you planing on offering them with autodimming like the OEM Lariat has?

At the current time, we do not have any plans for this to be an option. Thank you for asking.

We currently do not have plans to release an auto dim version of these mirrors. Thank you for asking.

I'm working with our video studio to see if they can make this video live for you guys.

Thank you for your patience.

Would be good to Have video include how to install mirror caps or include instruction sheet with mirror shipment. For me this was the most difficult part of the install and I break tabs on bottom of both new mirror. Ended up using some 2 sided trim tape to secure the bottom of the caps!

Mirrors look good, glass is good and all functions work: BLIS, tilt, heat, spot and puddle lights including marker lights. Only new wiring add was for the power fold - did not have that option on my XLT mirrors!

Wiring was not bad; time consuming. I decided for now not remove the door boots & plug for 2 reasons: concerned with breaking factory seals and di not want to mess the molex style plug. From my experience with small pins this type of plug, it you want to remove pins once installed almost impossible without proper tools. Also my DW does want the big tow mirrors, so we may end up removing after my trip this winter with the travel trailer - at leas that what my DW thinks!! . Probably not as I like them and will be much better towing than with clip on mirrors that I used on my prior truck.

I removed the door side boot and fed 2 power wire (small gauge 22ga) on out thru the boot seal and ran along the outside of the boot. Then routed into the truck under the door seal which just pulls out , used some foam padded under door seal to keep from cutting wires. Tie-wrapped to the outside of the boot. Covered wires from frame side boot to door with black duct tape.

Now deciding on find location for the fold switch; ordered a rocker switch mount which was goin to try to locate on left wide just under the IPC. Found out today the rocker switch TR provided is not standard size rocker switch - a few mm small in width and height . Will post some photos when I am done. The switch and wiring harness is fairly long so limit number of places to mount.

I was looking for ordering these mirrors on your website but I see you don't ship international. No way you can make an exception?
