X2 on A1auto. I got a set of towing mirrors with power, turn signal and heat for less then $300. Had them on my trucks for 3 months and no problems at all.

I would be weary of the Amazon/eBay ones. The glass on the cheaper sets can be wavy. (Ask me how I know )

I'm sure there are poor quality ones to be wary of, but the ones I got from Amazon are not wavy at all, I am quite pleased with them after over a year and glad I did not spend more $$ than I did.

I bought a set for my old 2003 from 1AAuto and was impressed with the quality and the customer service when I did have an issue they bent over backwards to get it resolved right away.

If you have any questions about the mirrors that we carry, I can help you out. We offer a lifetime warranty on mirrors, we also offer free shipping on all orders in the US

Regards,
Tony

We added a set from Amazon to my son's 99. It took 6 orders 5 returns to get ones that weren't wavey, housing split, boubting studs correct. Thank goodness for free return shipping.

We use a different manufacturer that a lot of our competitors. They aren't the cheapest, but they do spend a lot of time on R&D before releasing a product to us. Where other companies skimp on materials and mechanisms, our supplier doesn't.

Thanks guys,
Tony

I bought mirrors from 1A Auto off Amazon they looked great but did not come with the plug for my 2000 F-250. I talked to 3 people at 1A Auto they all asked for my VIN first and said the mirrors were not for my truck. I gave them the part number and looked at the description on the Amazon account all said 99 to 07 superduty. The video with the same part number was put on an early 2000s F-250. They told me it would void all warranty if I had them installed. The ladies on I talked to didn't seem to know what they were talking about, told me the mirrors were only for 99 to 07 F 450 and 550 only and had to have heated and light option from factory. I asked one girl to talk to someone else and she said they were going to tell me the same thing. All I wanted was the wire harness they said came with my mirrors, she said we sell them for $26.95. Ford did not offer those 3 options from the factory in 2000 NOT even on the 450 and 550. I did research and 250 to 550 are all the same mirror. I did NOT want to send them back because they were so nice but I had motor problems with the one I bought for my dodge. So I didn't want to give up my warranty on the most expensive mirrors on Amazon. So I returned them. Now I'm looking for good mirrors for A 2000 F-250.

Another vote for 1A Auto.

I've had mine for 5 years now and are holding up as well as my OEM ones did.

If you do check out 1A, make sure you check inside your door to see what plug you have so you know which set to order. They do have a some plug coversions but might not have them for all configurations. Worst case scenario you can splice the wires into the harness or buy a connector on Amazon and chop-and-swap.

I just ordered a set from Ebay. They now have the 2017 style mirror out but it's smaller than any of the previous years. These are going on my 00 F350 XLT 4x4 so wanted the larger 08 style. What they did was incorporate the 17 components...led wrap around clearance, blinker, and work lights. In addition, they have the led puddle lights under them which will be nice. They also have the heat function like many do though my F350 does not, so there will be some extra wiring. I still don't like the fact the blind mirror below isn't full length like pre and post 08-16 units, but am thinking of putting some sort of small thermometer in that area. They originally did not have the wiring harness to connect up, but had it in another add for the regular 08 units and included it when I inquired. They should be here this upcoming week so I will keep you posted if interested.

Another vote for 1aAuto. Great customer service and product support, and fast shipping. I had a set of mirrors from them on my 04 F-250 and they were great mirrors - I put them on an XL truck so I wasn't worried about plug fitment as I had to make a harness anyway. If I had to get mirrors again, I wouldn't hesitate to get another set through them. Worth the extra $30 - $40 vs the gamble on the amazon/ebay ones that people struggle with.
