2008 Towing Mirrors on 2004 Excursion
Ive got a 2004 excursion Eddie bauer and I've got the non towing paddle mirrors with power adjustment,heated,and turn signals. I want to put the 2008 style towing mirrors on that have power adjustment,heated,turn signals,and have the marker lights but not power fold or power telescope.
What I'm wondering is can anybody give me insight on how I can wire these new mirrors to my factory wires? I understand that the marker light may have to be separately wired in, but all of the other functions I want to wire in to my existing wires.
Thanks!

I converted my 00 Excursion that had the factory power/heat towing mirrors to the 08 power/heat & clearence lights over. They are aftermarket and came with adaptor plug to connect to mine. I had to rune wires for the lights but not to hard. The new mirrors come with the rectangle plug so I would check your mirrors might be same, mine were the round connetor. Someone else might chime in they are great and hugh difference. Here is a link to my thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...r-upgrade.html.

Big truck + Small garage = folding the mirrors just to fit in the garage.
And maybe if I ask nice, RKraft will help install them...

Yes a guy named curts05 has installed the power folding/extend mirrors he wired in all the fuses and relays necessary. It's a bit of work but anything is possible. All that's necessary is some time patience and understanding of basic electricals

Any time you are ready to purchase those power folding & telescoping mirrors I'm there
. I believe the same place I purchased mine from sell the power folding & telescoping mirrors also.
