Late 07 trucks and all 08's are prewired for puddle, heat and turn, assuming that you already have at least power mirrors. Before that you have to switch around wires. Not sure what the configuration is, but there are TONS of posts on here for that issue. In order to activate the heat function you have to have rear window defroster, if you don't then you are gonna do some wiring and adding of stuff to get that to work. Hope that helps....

If you have non power mirrors, I dont think you will have any wires going to you mirrors. Not sure but, you can check. I just replaced my power mirrors with power, heat and turn mirrors. When I did this only the power worked, no heat and no turn. I plan on running a wire from my turn to the mirror to make them work. As far as the heat, I was told that since I didnt have it, I would have to add all the controls to make it work.
Good Luck on this project...

To get your turn signals to work if you have power you just move a pin around, I did this when I got my towing mirrors, For puddle lamps on the towing mirrors you need to run a wire which I did and have yet to hook up my heated mirrors....wish I did have to for next winter, one of my projects
The heated mirror function is going to be a project if you dont already have the heated back window function. If you dont, then you will need a new fuse box and a new switch for the heat function. Each, last time I heard were over 100 bucks apiece.

I have an 05 XLT, I just had the power/ heated mirrors and upgraded to the tow mirrors with the signal and puddle lamps, mine was wired for the it. I had to move a pin in the connector to get the signals to work, still don't have the puddle lamps, but I'm not concerned about them as much.

2013 XLT tow mirror upgrade
I recently bought a 2013 F150 XLT and want to upgrade to tow mirrors. The mirrors I have are power but not heated, and don't have turn signals. I found some on Ebay for $150 that are power but have turn signals, flood lamps, and are heated. I'm not interested in the other functions, would they still function as normal power mirrors?
