The design and features are all the same as the '08 mirror...you just need to let them know which MY you have so you get the right connector and support base. They will be Plug-n-play....the '07MY is the same as my '05MY...I just went with ChromeFactoryOutlet (NC), made them a Best Offer of $350. Comes with three different top covers a.) Chrome, b). Paintable, and c). Textured. That's funny...I just opened the link below to the seller I purchased my mirror set from and they are using a picture of my truck I sent them after the install. Pretty cool.

Upper mirror is powered and heated....lower mirror can be manually adjusted only and is not heated.

I made an offer of 350 dollars on the ChromeFactoryOutlet mirrors as well and got them. I bought the mirrors from that link. Looking forward to getting them!

I have a feeling I will be. Just seen another 6.0 yesterday that had those mirrors on it. They look so much better than the egg-shaped mrirors.

Do those mirrors have marker lights as well as turn signals, almost ready to pull the trigger!

Yep...marker lights. They even flash when you hit your truck lock/unlock on your key fob.

Thanks very much to the link for the ebay mirrors! I bolted them on in about 40 minutes flat and they work perfectly, no vibration at all! I would highly reccomend this upgrade to anyone!!
