TT mirror upgrade?

New to the Excursion world. Just sold my 96 F250 CC and decided on the Excursion and can't be happier. I just picked up 00 Excursion limited 4wd v10. It has power & heat TT mirrors already but the right one is busted up, cover really on door. Looking to upgrade to ones with signals and clearence lights on them thinking these I found on ebay any thoughts & opinions would be great. Here is a link to mirrors.

Thanks,

These are the mirrors that I installed on my 2002 Excursion.

Ford F250 Truck Mirror - AM Autoparts

They installed quite easily. I ran seperate wires for the running lights. They do vibrate just a hair at highway speed when extended, but to tell the truth it is hardly noticable and for the money saved, I can sure live with it.

Those are the ones I put on mine... I've had them on for a while now and love 'em. Big difference between those and the older style in regards to mirror size.

I wish I would have seen that 08+ style for that price before I put the 99-06 style on mine. The cheapest I had found the '08's before was 650 for that paid so I wasn't willing to spend that much.

Well I installed the 08 towing mirrors this morning took about 3.5hrs. They are the ones I posted a link to in my first post. They are not power fold or telescoping, I didn't need them. I will get pictures up later today or tomorrow. I really like them, if anyone is thinking about doing it I think they are worth it. Had to hard wire the turn signals, clearence lights & heater elements. They came with a adapter for round to rectangle plug. Just ran wires to factory heater plug & new wires to clearence & turnsignals.
