Want real tow mirrors for your Expy? Here's how (lot of pics)
Mine does have heated mirrors, signals and puddle light.
I haven't tried the mirror heat yet though, just isn't cold enough. I suppose I could try them in the rain, but there hasn't been much rain when I'm driving yet either.
And it is a plug and play, those 2 wires had to be inserted into the correct holes. Same number of wires as the old mirrors, so there's no reason why the mirror heat wouldn't work...
Just got back from the first towing trip, they worked great. Like you said, the mirror glass shook a bit, nothing serious, and I got used to it pretty quick. Convex mirrors were rock steady. The extend feature made it easy to see around the trailer without issue.
10/10 would buy again.

Bump in case anyone is looking to do this upgrade. No complaints with mine so far. I test drove a 2004 Super Duty the other day and even with the tow mirrors they put on from the factory, the visibility was terrible compared to the ones on the Expedition.
Many thanks for the detailed write up, the pictures, and the information. Just finished installing the same set on my 2003 Expedition - and love them. Took about 1 hour and 15 minutes start to finish.
For the price - these are amazing mirrors. The install was simple and smooth.
Thanks again for sharing the information with everyone.
