The question I have is do they offer just the power mirrors without signals, heat, or puddle lamps. I'm not wanting to drop a fortune and don't really need any of the other stuff. Anybody happen to know? It's an 07 F150 standard cab if that helps any.

As always thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I have power (non heat/signal) and I'm getting ready to have my set for sale as soon as I get my tow mirrors in and installed.

Yes I bought the door panels, But got them for a good price. They were new never installed, They were left over stock from the supplier when they stopped production of the 2008.

But you can use the door trim panels off a crew cab for a regular cab, so power door panels are not that hard to find used.

Ford used the same harness for every model. So if you have manual mirrors and no extras, the wiring will still be there. However... If you get power mirrors, you have to have the interior control to run the mirrors, if you have the control to run the mirrors, your door has to have the hole for the controls... See what I mean? You have to have all of the pieces of the puzzle to have one add-on work and look OEM. It may be a lot of trouble, but I think it would be worth it to make the conversion. Post some pics when you can!

If you dont have any power in the door you dont get any harnesses in the door. just a few wires...dome and speakers. thats it. My STX had no harnesses.

I ordered tow mirrors through Tasca ford that have signal, heat and a puddle light. I origanily had just stock power mirrors. As far as the heat to the mirror will I have to add a button to be able to turn this on? If so where does this go?
