Those mirrors are a huge improvement over the paddles, but if you can find a deal on the '10's then go that route. The difference in surface area is huge. You can save money by not worrying about the heat and turn's. You can always add the turn's later.

Hey Joe, have you checked your plugs" some are rectangular( newer '01s) and some have a square and circle plug (older '01s) you might have to do some cutting and spicing.

I bought these:

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I did have to cut the defroster cable off my paddle mirror and put them on the new one.

The new one had a square with a round adapter. So the motors worked fine, but the defroster connecter had to be changed. No big deal.

These people have great service. I called and asked about the cables. They did not know, but they found out and called me back.

D.

Will these fit on your 01 X ? If so are these a direct bolt on or is there a mod needed.

They will fit, you may have to do a little plug modification or run a wire. But they fit

I have not checked my lug yet. I also found some 2010 mirrors for 364 in another post I am looking at also

Yes, but you will have to modify the plug. Old style is round and the new style is rectangle.

Here are a couple of informative links:

Curt, If you put a space after the "smilie" in your statement above the server will fix the link so that we don't have to copy and paste it. You can also post it as a pic, which would make it even easier for everyone else.... ah never mind, I will get it.

After all said and done, get the C-Betr add-on mirror, it is a tremendous improvement in visibility.

I ended up going with the 2005 + mirrors. They come in today for like 275 shipped. Turns and heat. We will see how they look once I get the adapters.
