The 08 mirrors he sells are the OEM mirrors you can see on an 2008 Super Duty. Stop by a dealer or find one on the road somewhere to see the difference in person. The 08's are a good bit larger and provide a much better spot mirror. Yes the heat turns on when the ignition is on. You can get the mirrors with or without the marker/turn signal lights. They are bright enough to pass DOT/OEM specs.

 

Heat is built in, and is most likely in your specific model managed by a timer inside the truck. The mirrors do have Heat, Side marker and turn signal , and yes they are bright.

 

There are double throw rocker switches available from places like McMaster-Carr. They spring back to center when released. Guys with older trucks,mines an 04 can use these for a retrofit. I personally don't need the heat feature. I like the power in and out and flip feature. I fold mine back every time I park in a lot.

 

can you get them in chrome

 

I saw there was a kit on ebay to put a crhome cover on them,
Nick

 

I saw that also but it does not look as good as my chrome 05 stock ones

 

getting ready to install the mirrors on my '06 what are the wire differences?

 

so i have a 2001 f350 and was wondering if the power fold will work on mine because i have those real small crappy ones and would love to update them thanks

 

Yes they will work. We sellthe mirrors with our switches to make them fold and extend.

 

ok sweet thanks that will be the next mod to come thanks i cant wait

 

Do you know what the wiring is for this? I am trying to replace mine and the colors are not matching up...

 

Can somebody email me the the wiring diagram for splicing 08 mirrors to an 06

f250? I am in able to open the pictures from dfuser.

Email is gasman675@gmail.com

There's some detailed info in this recent thread, I just did my '05:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15417384

 

I got power heated mirrors, manual telescoping/folding. If you're going to spend $$, get the newer style - the older ones still cost about the same if I recall.

There are several wiring variations, take care to get mirrors that will plug up to your '05 connectors or come with an adapter. wiring is a piece of cake for me, so I got ones with the newer plug and made modifications so I could use them (I think that is detailed in the thread I linked).

Depending on what you get, you may need to add some extra wiring in your door or plug if it does not match up with what you have now (electrically).

I originally was going to get the more popular 1AAuto ones here: Ford Mirror Pair - 1AMRP00611 at 1A Auto.com
Yet found some much cheaper on Amazon and have been quite pleased with them:
