tow mirror question

i have an 05 F250 SD. it has power paddle mirrors on it currently and i hate the way it looks. i am going to get tow mirrors soon and was wondering which type i would be able to buy. i figured that the non-heated, non-turn signal mirrors would work fine, but i would prefer the one's with the turn signals. Would they match up and work?

Yes the tow mirrors with turn signals would work, however you might have wire them up. You can even opt for the 08+ style mirrors as they look much better and provide a lot more mirror. All will fit.

Fx4 if you have the power mirrors (you said already didn't you) then you most likely already have the wiring in place for the upgrade. You may need to get a different control switch however. Contact FTE Parts guy for your needs. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...ember&u=406391

the 08' mirrors would look awesome, but they are a boat load of money to spend on just mirrors
