Some of the aftermarket ones are OK, others not so much.
Not sure which mirrors you have now or how involved you want to get with new ones.
If you have the smaller "flag-style" mirrors and upgrade to the towing mirrors you can go with just basic replacement ones for your '99 which can be pretty much the same wireing wise as your present ones, like power, heat, ect, or you can go as far as what I'd call full-tilt to the '08-'11 style with running lights, signals, heat, everything, and do a little wireing to make them work.
I'm sure others will chime in and make some more suggestions.....

The 08 ones are simply amazing! I had them on my truck, got them from a totaled out truck, otherwise I think there pretty spendy!

Here is a direct bolt on replacement with factory plug. I just bought one for my pickup and a perfect fit and great quality.

Www.discountautomirror.com is where I bought mine and they are holding up well. Have had them for three years now. Got both mirrors power and heated for 200 shipped to my door. Wirin up the heated part is no problem if you don't already have the heated mirrors.
