upgrade TT mirrors

Has anyone upgraded from power heated trailer tow mirrors to power heated trailer tow mirrors with marker lights. Is the wiring there?

It's actually a matter of changing the back cover on the mirrors, running some wires, and that's it. There is a diagram for it, but I don't quite remember where to find it.

It should bolt right up to your '01 mirrors. Every dealer I've gone to in the last little while, has told me the only difference between the old and the new are the covers and maybe two little wires. So you should be all set.
