08 mirrors on 04?
I'm looking into putting 08 power/heat mirrors on my 04. Mine now has the power/heat mirrors. Just wondering what needs to be done to wire them up? Any info would be great.

Well I do like the looks of the new ones and I think they are actually better. I need a new right side and feel it would be too mitch match with a old one and new one. The old is looking old and faded.

You can put the new mirrors on just gotta cut a little nub off the new ones and match the wires up and not only do they look better but the larger mirror picks things up alot better

Do the colors match up for the wires? Also I think I read somewhere that the power adjustment was backwards is that true?
