Mirror Drama

While I have been contemplating changing mirrors for years, I finally made an effort today to actually call Ford.com and order a new set of power trailer mirrors. Just my luck, these mirrors are no longer carried and my only option from Ford.com or my local dealership is to replace my 02 small power mirrors with a manual trailer mirror. As I would like to keep my power option, what is the latest model year that I can replace my standard mirrors with the trailer mirror utilizing a straight plug and play operation without having to rewire a harness for heat and or turn signals? I have looked in many posts; however, many relate to upgrading to heat and turn signals. Looking for just a straight swap. Any information would be appreciated. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

any of them, but you might have to do some wiring.

old green came with manual tow mirrors, and one of the first things done was to upgrade them to the heated/power tow mirrors with marker and turn signal.

a lot of guys here have installed the 08+ style

empiretc: Thanks for the reply but I would not like to get into changing wiring and trying to find adapters to make other years fit. I will go this route if I can’t find some good OEM replacements for what I have.

Firefighter 1406: Are they OEM and in very good condition?

LSO1123: I have been on E-bay and have found them for 80-100 dollars; however, they are not OEM and I am not sure I want to take a chance and then receive a mirror that is thin plastic with an even thinner cheap piece of glass in it.

They are oem. They are a 7 out of 10 I would say. They paint on the arms is getting a little faded like normal but are in good shape.

Thanks for all of the reply's. I stopped at another dealership today on the way home and they were able to locate a new set. I guess that opens the door for guitarpicr to have a shot at them. Thanks again....
