Craigs List also. But yeah, E-bay usually comes through on those. Heck, just about anywhere!

I'd seriously consider the 2008 style mirrors over the older style. I dream of the larger convex mirrors on the 08 style...sadly, I'm stuck with the stock tow mirrors on my 05

COMPLETELY agree here! The old style actually have a bit wider convex mirror, and I always assumed that would be a bit better. Until I drove Monster-4's truck, and I realized how small they really are.

Get the new ones! They may not match the truck as well as the old style, but they are MUCH more useful!

Go for the 08+ mirrors. Way better convex. In fact they are so big and nice you don't even need the upper glass. The down side is you'll pay three times the amount but if you tow alot it will be money well spent

Hi,
I bought my mirrors from "Discount Mirrors" on line. They are made by KOOL VIEW. They are nice and inexpensive.

Hey fish,

What ebay seller, if you don't mind my asking? Have you gotten them installed yet? Easy? I have the paddle style, so I want to make sure I have everything in place.

All mirrors from 99-10 will bolt right up. Wiring will be different depending on what year mirror with what year truck however.

Depending on the mirror and truck the entire plug might be different. Shouldn't be to hard to wire something up however. If you search this forum there are several good post on it.

I have a set of 08-09 towing mirrors brand new in the box. They are powerfold power telescopeing , memory with turn signal forsale. These sell at the dealer for around 900$ each. You can find them at an online dealer for around 750$ each new.

I'm selling for 1000$ shipped, brand new oem.
