I found these going through their website. Seem like another good deal and I'll probably try them out at some point.

Do they vibrate at highway speeds? I bought a similarly priced set off amazon and I have been less than thrilled with them.

Mine are also flat glass instead of convex which gets me a great view of my trailer, but are terrible for everyday driving.

Hopefully you got a better product than I did and stay happy with them.

nope no vibration, this might be a stupid question but did you make sure every bolt holding the mirror was as tight as it could be?

They are tight. It is the glass itself that vibrates, not the housing. I think the flat glass makes it more noticing as well.

So whats the difference between these two mirrors linked? They both look the same. I am assuming these are OE style replacement mirrors and not ford OE mirrors. I don't really need a set but at a great price maybe I should get a set so I have them if I ever do start towing large campers, etc. Is this a pretty standard price for OE style tow mirrors that I could probably get in a few years or is this really good? thx

This is about the going rate I've seen for aftermarket towing mirrors ... I bought mine for about the same last year.

Since these are heated mirrors what do you do about a switch to turn the heating elements on/off ? I see a space on the control panel where a switch might go. Do these units come with a switch ? If not, what did you do for a switch?
