Tow mirror upgrade issues

Good morning everyone,

(I posted this under the towing format, but maybe its better to post in a more general category)

Been trying to figure out how to replace my factory side mirrors and upgrade to towing mirrors. I have a 2017 F150 Platinum Supercrew and have looked on this site at numerous threads and still can't figure out which mirrors to purchase. The usual answer comes down to 8 pin v. 22 pin. I do not have just one plug to simply adapt to new mirror but two different plugs (see attached pictures), a small one with 4 pins and a large one with 18 pins( equals 22 of course) but none of the threads have addressed 2 separate plugs and looking on Amazon/Ebay/Internet sites, they seem to show switching out only one plug for another.

My current mirrors have the usual bells and whistles, puddle light, heated, power adjustment, lane warning light ( cars approaching on either side of the road)

Any advise and specific mirrors/companies to order from would be appreciated.

Subscribing because the wife has discussed adding these to her 2019. No idea what hers look like but this could potentially be useful information for me.

After continuing to look online, I decided to email Boost Auto Parts about their aftermarket mirrors. Received an email reply within minutes and had a nice "conversation" with a couple of employees over the next couple of days. They don't have the tow mirrors that I want, but are adding updated models mid/late September. I plan on waiting until they are available and if the price is decent, will purchase for my truck. Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation!
