it does help alot, thanks man, what im gonna do is compare my harness to me dads because my 03 came from the factory with heated power and turn signal tow mirrors, i think i should be able to get it together, im just gonna wire it through the hot wire to the power windows as well, just hoping the connectors arent radically different. thanks buddy

Tried to rep you for it, but was locked out.

I just cut the connector off and put in quick disconnects if I ever bust another mirror. Just hardwired it for the parking lights turn and heat. The power mirror plug matched up tho. Put a set of 05 mirrors on my 99.

Yes. A popular upgrade for us first gen SD guys is to install '08+ tow mirrors. You will just have to wire them up like we do as your XL doesn't have any of those features.

How are ya'll adding turn signal wiring or is it there in the OEM harness at the door and not used? If not, where you pulling the turn signal wiring from?

Turn signal wires are under the cover right behind the steering wheel in the vicinity of the 4 way flasher switch. White with a blue stripe and green with a white stripe if I remember correctly. The hardest part is fishing a wire thru the door grommet.

I realize this is OLD post, but man, Ponyboychris's site is absolutely educational, even though he is a Gasser !

Thanks for the details, many things are what I am intending to do for my 03 F250, BIG THUMBS UP to his details.
