Side Mirrors

I would like to change out my mirrors on my 05. I have the elephant ear mirrors and would like to replace them with the telescoping mirrors. I am wondering if they are interchangeable and if anyone knows how difficult they are to swap out if possible. Thank You.

I thought the "elephant ear, dumbo" mirrors were the extendable ones?

They are interchangeable. I got mine on ebay. They were the wrong year, and the plugs didn't match. Of course a little solder and heat shrink and all was well. I believe you will want 04 or newer mirrors so the plug will match. The install is pretty simple.

Here is an older thread on this:

Another good reference:

Good luck, and you will enjoy the tow mirrors.
