Yes, the late model mirrors will bolt right up, OEM ones might have to have some splicing done. 1Aauto.com has some very nice aftermarket '08+ mirrors with a wide variety of options and features, they come with adapter plugs to make everything plug and play for the most part. I have a set of their mirrors with power adjust, heat, chrome caps and smoked signals on my '05 EXcursion.

I highly recommend the A1auto mirrors. I purchase the 2008 plus ones with the electronic fold and had my mechanic put them on my 2005 F250. They are 100 times better than the factory ones and he was able to mount the auto fold button right below the button that adjusts the mirrors. Did have to lengthen the wire though.

I ordered these off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they bolted right up and plugged into my 2005 f250 crew cab lariat. Came with the adapters for the older style trucks but didn't need them. Lights work (turn signals and running lights), electric adjustable mirror works. I haven't tested the heated function yet, but since it's been in the upper 80's here lately it has been hard to tell lol.

I have 2014 OEM power fold and telescope mirrors I put on my truck. I put the telescope switch between the mirror switch (which controls the fold function) and the door window switches. I went one step further and installed a heated mirror switch to control when the heat is on. Total amount invested is under $450.

The quality of the 1AA replacement mirrors is excellent. The new style bolted right up and plugged right in to my '06. I recommended them to a friend, and he loves them too.
Thought I might miss my C-Betrs, but don't at all.
