Hello I am new to the forum , I have a 2012 Platinum that came with Manual fold tow mirrors I found a great deal on some oem 2013 powerfold / telescoptic mirrors , didn't even know there were aftermarket ones , anyway the powerfold option doesn't work guess having the maual ones they didn't wire for it . Just wondering how hard it is to wire these for powerfold and running marker light . Not worried bout telescoptic .... Thanks for any help in advance ....
Here's a link to them. Tony

With a platinum I am sure you are pre-wired, my lariat was. You need a switch and a new DSM to get the fold to work without doing any custom wiring. See this link for more info.

Drivers Seat Module=DSM. Giant box under your drivers seat.... I bought the new one - part number mentioned in the other thread and like magic power fold started working. ~$200 for the module and switch or hacking wires is your choice, both seem to work fine.
My 2012 lariat was the same as the 2011 you mentioned, so my guess would be yes.

Take a look at the thread linked below - post# 42, 51, and especially 74 (and there are others).
That thread is primarily about those of us who have done the mod to install the OE PowerScope power telescoping tow mirrors, but those posts I mention above have some info how we got the lower light to function as a marker/running light.
I followed the instructions that MrCdnVegas discusses in those posts, and my lower light works just as you want - it's on when my parking or headlights are on so it functions as a marker/running light.
Good luck!!
