No,but there are some that have a built in blind spot mirrors.




One minor detail though. If you have ventshades you'll need to buy a set for 09-14 because they fit around the mirrors differently.

Just noticed my defrost light is blinking when the turn signal is on...


Switch the ground plug to where on the mirror,or the harness on the door?

Mine is doing the same thing. i tried switching the wires, and its really easy to damage the pins when moving them. I said "oh well" (which I usually don't do with my truck..)

I'm hoping it's not making the defroster flash on/off.....

Just put a set on my 04 off a 13. This is something I never thought about. Thanks for mentioning. Future headache avoided.

Mine was a little different. The signal on the mirror would not blink when defrost was on but would work when the defrost was off.
04 XLT with P/H/S. Replaced with 2013 P/H/S blind spot mirrors.
The harness on the door side, removed pin from slot #2 and inserted into slot #8.

This has to do with the different wiring from the 04-early 07 and 07 and up. You'll have to switch some pin wires around. I'll try to find my conversion chart I made.

Mine is doing that but the defroster light also blinks.


What color was the wire?




I also just did the reflector/turn signal mod,but this ground issue is causing a problem....
