I read on here that someone had a problem with the adapters not working. I checked the prices at ford for parts 22 and 25 bucks, one for each side. Has anyone else read that too?

It might be in reference to the heat. Mine had extra wiring and relay added for the heat and it is an '02.

edit: this must be my lucky post or perfect post as it is my 777 post. Happy Sunday.

If you didn't have turns in your paddle mirrors you will have to run some wire. Not a big deal though.

Then you should be set up to plug and play. I could be wrong here, but that's almost unheard of.

Maybe Toreador_Diesel or one of the other guys that made the switch can chime in. Be patient grass hopper.

Someone else posted the correct colors for an 05 on fte, because they are different than the 2010 super duty mirrors. You have super search to find it, good luck!
