Anyone have any idea if the dealer installs the mirror spotlights of if there is an aftermarket source?
This is for a 2015 XLT

I am pretty sure the dealer would take your money in exchange for new mirrors and the accompanying components needed for the spot lights. (New dash trim and left/right light buttons, harnesses, reprogram the computer, etc).

Coming from somebody who has them, buy a flashlight.

They only turn on if you are parked or barely at a crawl, they turn off quickly, they cannot be aimed vertically, to adjust the horizontal axis you have to move the entire mirror. I have tried mine, and have yet to find an actual use for them. I camp a lot and never used them once.

Why then do I have them? I did want the tow mirrors, and the spotlights are a mandatory add on. Love the mirrors, and it is not like I hate the spotlights, I just have no use for them.

My tow mirror LED lights and cameras work great for illuminating the sides of the truck for entry and exit with the power running boards at night. They also work great for the 360 degree view at night. They came from the factory perfectly aligned.

I believe you are talking about the LED Puddle Lamps? The LED spotlights do not turn on with the perimeter lighting on entry/exit.

There's a thread on here where you can install a simple jumper and have the use of your mirror spot lights at anytime.

These are LEDs mounted under the side mirrors. They also have switches where they can be turned on manually.
