Looks great storm.Now if i can only find a pair of old style towing mirrors with heat.

sweet...i should be getting my mirrors in shortley....im milling a piece of aluminum to fit perfect inside that area where the upfitter switches go and i am going to mount my 2 switches for the power telescoping and folding along with the switch for my back up lights there....the guy that rents the building next to me will actually be doing the mill work but he is also going to make it brushed...hopefully itll all turn out good...of course if there is just one tiniest thing wrong i will think its total crap because im **** like that

No i can't really think of anything more .. outside of the telescope/fold you'll have the 7 wires - I did a write up on the install and it's easy ..if you run into trouble PM me and I'll give you my phone # so you can call me if you need help.

alright sweet...ive been really worried about not being able to do it right...i make countertops, im far from an electrician.....it took me all day to hook up my back up light (the same ones bear hunter has) and i didnt even run it through a relay...i just ran it straight to my battery and into a switch....

the guy i bought them off of already has all the wires cut and the quick connects are already on...so it should make it a little easier....when i take off the old mirror is the factory plug right there, so i can cut all the wires without tearing my whole truck apart/?

yeah i thought that was weird .. although they appear to be normal 194 bulbs.. if that's the case, (and I still don't know how the lens cover comes off) I'm considering buying amber LED 194's for the cab lights and mirror lights..
