08 Mirrors upgrade

Hey guys so I've been researching to get the 08 mirrors for my excursion. it was built August 2000 so there were several nice plug and play ones that I found on ebay that will not work.


Just need some help finding the correct mirrors! Thank you.

Another very happy 1A customer here, some recent eBay mirrors have been reported by members here to have wavy glass in the upper section of the mirror.

I purchased 1A's aswell. They have a mild distortion in my upper drivers side mirror, but I'll live. Something to consider when buying these aftermarket mirrors....no parts. If you break the glass you have to buy another set if mirrors.

If you are looking to add running lights and blinkers it's more than just plug and play. Put the 1A 08+ style on the 02 a couple years ago and pleased with the quality. We had to hardwire every wire. Paid $375 same mirrors from 1A go for around $225 now.


The really cheap ebay mirrors with all the complaints are made in china.
