Default Help with Mirror wiring

Hey all, I was just in search for help with tow mirror options. I am looking for tow mirrors at the moment and would love the heated and auto mirrors with puddle lights and turn signals on them.

I'm pretty decent at wiring and such, but if I could avoid trial and error that'd be appreciated. has anyone ever hooked up mirrors like this before?

I currently have manual mirrors with none of the above mentioned options. I know I probably could splice wires in together that would hook up heat, puddle lights, and turn signals, auto I really don't care much for.

Thanks!

I have a 2008 with a 4.6L.

Honestly don't know the model but I think it's an XL. The previous owner changed the wheels and debadged it, but it's got manual locks, manual windows, cruise, 4x4, standard cab 4dr, long bed, vinyl seats and floor, if that helps.

This is a guy on youtube installed 2013 power folding, power telescoping mirrors on his 04-08 model
.
He mentioned that he has more details on the install. His personal info in the comments below the video if you're interested in doing the same.

It sounds like you'll have a lot of wiring to do since you have everything manual right now.
