Tow mirror upgrade help

I'm helping my sister get some tow mirrors for my brother in law for his truck for Christmas. It's a 2016, heated power mirrors, blind spot detection, but she says there is no LED or turn signals in them. I looked on 1a auto but do not see anything that matches those specs.
Anyone know of another good place to get some that have those specs?

They are definately out there. I bought a set which slide on and have a screw wedge to hold them. They have an opening for a bottom light but I don't think it matters. Mine are on on heated, blind spot too. They are in my trailer which I will be at next week. They worked great and I'll send the brand. I believe I bought them through Amazon.

Why not just call your local Ford dealer and get the optional OEM tow mirrors or give Fairway Ford in Ohio a call. They should be the same on 2015-2019 F150`s

The OEM ones are too pricey

What I found out while searching for my tow mirrors is that they have a kit that includes both mirrors. The kit is about 200 cheaper than ordering left and right individually. Got mine from Fairway ford. no rewiring or tap ins or splicing. Plug and play. My kit which has what you need with the exception of the BLIS was 700 plus 50 shipping from Fairway Ford. Mine are heated, with turn signal, running lights, spot lights, puddle lights and power adjust. not power fold. The power fold option kept coming in when searching for power adjust. You just have to weed through them.

Trucks with Bilss have led turn signals.

Here's what I bought. My 13 Max-tow had the big mirrors and the cost me probably a mile per gallon. I didn't want them on my 18 but still had to tow the same trailer. These go on ez and work fine.

Those are made about 2 min away from my house LOL.

I had syppo replacement tow mirrors and they ended up being a $300 pile of garbage, pretty sure they don't have the ones you need yet, but avoid them anyways. They were noisy and at 70mph, vibrated like crazy after 8 months i lost about 1.5-2mpg so I went back to stock and got the mirrors jimmy-six has, they are fine towing but i find them too small when backing up. if he's not backing up a 30' camper they should be fine.
