Which plug-Mirror upgrade
Okay I know there are atleat 4000 threads on this but I just couldn't seem to find exactly what I needed. Heres my situation: I have a 2004 F250 SD XLT FX4 5.4. It came with power paddle mirrors, NO heat NO signal.
I would like to upgrade to towing mirrors. I pulled the door panel off and have a rectangular plug with 7 prongs.
I found these at parts train and spoke with a rep, who said they would NOT FIT?

So.. I am pretty sure they WILL fit I just won't have heat. These mirrors were the best that I could find since Kool-Vue doesn't seem to make POWER ONLY tow mirrors. These have heat, but my question is firstly it says it comes with an adapter (do I need this, because I don't think I do?) Secondly, if my truck was NOT wired for heat and these mirrors come with the plug wired for heat, will I still be able to install them and will they plug togather correctly with the plug I have now?
Stupid questions I know, I just don't want to order them and it be wrong because I have to cover return shipping, and also %15 restock fee. I don't wnat to spend money finding out they won't work. Any help would be GREAT!

So you do NOT want the signals in them?
When I upgraded mine from the basic tow to the signal/heat versions, I used this site.
Very happy with the quality and they plugged right in to my existing harness.

As long as it says it has the flat pin harness it should plug in to yours.

Thanks for the reply! Yes that is correct, I do NOT want the signals. I have power only paddle mirrors. I would just like to have the tow mirrors with power. BUT I only seem to be able to find the tow mirrors with signal and heat that are powered. So If I buy the tow mirrors that have heat and power, as long as the plug is the same shape it will work? Even if my plug does not have wiring for heat? Thanks again!
