Towing Mirrors Help

I purchased a pair of power towing mirrors for my 2003 7.3 F-250. The mirrors have round plugs and my truck has rectangle plugs. Does anyone know where I can find an adapter or a new set of the rectangle plugs?

Adaptors

I just took off my power tow mirrors from my '99 SD and replaced them with a pair of '03 telescoping power tow mirrors since the telescoping pair slides in and the other pair was pre- telescoping and remains in the extended position. If anyone does this change out, Ford does have a pig tail which will allow the newer mirror connections, flat gray connector, to hook up with the old connector, round white cylinder type connector.I was just gonna splice them in but the connectors were kinda cheap so I just went with them. The local parts guy wasn't real helpful and it took up a lot of my time to find the part numbers but here they are if any one needs them. Oh by the way, nice site you got here!

Scott, I just did a mirror swap and I got the mirrors from Ford. I did not need the adapted that came with the mirrors since my truck is a 03'

If you want, send me a message and I will give you the adapters. Just pay the shipping and we are good.

I got them from the same place Boxcar did. Less than $300 for both and they are telescoping Ford OEM mirrors with the convex secondary mirrors.

Did not trust the ebay ones. Try a dealer called www.oemfordparts.com it is a dealer in weathersford, TX called southwest ford, that beats all local dealers on parts. My local dealer wanted $344. I got them at the site for $280. I got just power without signals or heat. My direct swap took about 45 minutes.
