lens for turn signals on mirrors

does anyone know how to replace or buy just the lens for a 2004 F350 mirror. I called 2 dealers and they want to seel me a housing for the mirror at $172.00. I know recon sells replacement lens for $109.00 for two of them, but can you buy one anywhere. And if so, How do you go about replacing it. I know it can't be made into the mirror.

dealer is correct. they only sell the back cover assembly. when i got my mirrors, i went with the chrome cover assemblies and they were only about $120 each. i think the textured lack finish ones were less than $75.

mirrors

Two ford dealers both wanted $170.00 a piece. Did yours come with the turn signal lights when you bought aftermarket covers. All I really need is that one of my light lens is broken. Light still works.

mirror lenses

How do you go about replacing them. I found the recon ones. They are the only people I could find that sell replacement. All I wnat to do is put a new lens in so Water or snow won't short it out. Even recon couldnb't couldn't tell me how to do it. Would appreciate any help

There are tabs behind the mirro,r you push the mirror from side to side to get to the tabs, I think there were 4.

your welcome. The fit of the light was not perfect. But well enough to use.
Be careful on the install not to bend the mirror plastic or it will not sit right when reinstalled.
Also the recon plastic tabs are soft handle with care.

I'm assuming you meant the passenger side when you said left. I need the passenger side. Let me know if that is correct. Thanks Greg
