Default 2011 Tow mirror question

Hi Guys
I have a 2011 XLT Reg Cab 4X4 with regular mirrors, power only, not heated, no signal lite, and no puddle lite.
I want to add a set of tow mirrors and most available on Ebay have power, puddle, heated, and signal.
My question is Does anyone know if the plug for power etc will work if I switch, and will signal lite, and puddle work. I presume the heat will not if I do not have the switch on the mirror control.
Thanks for the help
Andy

How much are the ones on eBay? I saw exactly what you and I want on tascaparts for roughly ~$310 each for right and left. Search 2011 Ford F-150, go Front Door, Outside Mirrors, then Mirror, and select the right/left under the top two right/left, those are the tow mirrors. I'm assuming you have the top two which is what I have. You will also have to do extra wiring to get the puddle and signal lights to work as blinkers. There is a thread with a tutorial on how to do that.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-2011-FORD-F150-OEM-STYLE-BLK-POWER-TOWING-MIRROR-W-LED-SIGNAL-PUDDLE-LIGHT-/250938414311?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Year%3A2011|Model%3AF-150&vxp=mtr&hash=item3a6d1854e7
Here is the link for the set on Ebay
They are $332 for a pair
I dont know if I would do the extra wiring unless it is fairly easy
I am more concerned if it will plug in
Thanks
Andy

You can remove the panel inside the truck to see where exactly the bolts are where the mirror attaches. I haven't done this yet, I will once I order the towing mirrors from tascaparts. They are cheaper there and it is truly OEM Ford, the one on eBay didn't have the signal light on the back of the mirror, the OEM Ford does. You can also see illustratons to compare the stock mirrors you have now and the new tow mirrors. Bolts appear to be in the same location.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see that both left and right were included. I would probably rather still go with the OEM Ford pair from tascaparts just for the signal light on the back.
