Many folks here, myself included have gone with 1A Auto's '08+ tow mirrors, they are totally plug and play and are of very good quality. Here is a link to their new power fold version but once there you can check out the many other models they have available.

Yes they have built in running lights and turn signals. I also have the 1A Auto mirrors and they are great. Super easy to install, plug and play (if you already have factory tow mirrors).

Yes, be sure to read the model description, the ones I linked to do NOT have the turn and marker lights just like the descriptions states. I did suggest browsing through their other versions of these towing mirrors..........

Did you take a look at these? I got them a month ago and they are great, I should have replaced mine earlier.

What are the difference in these? I can't find one, other than the cheaper units include an additional smooth cap. I'm I missing something? (probably so)

Good question and the same one that I had when I saw the less expensive ones on the 1a auto website


I couldn't find anything different other than the deeper "discount" on the less expensive ones from 1a auto that I bought. I called them once to confirm they were from the same manufacturer with the same specifications and was told they were. Always a skeptic, I waited a few hours and called back asking the same questions and got the same answers so I ordered a set. They said that I could return them for any reason, but there was no need to. The fit and finish is excellent

Fwiw, when I openly asked them about the difference in price between the two part numbers, he could not give me a reason. All of the specifications and details of the mirrors were the same between part numbers.

Good luck.

Great, Thanks for the info. I know what I am ordering next! It says 2002-2005. I wonder if I will need to do some wiring on my 2000? No big deal at that price.
