Upgrade to Heated Mirrors
 
Is it possible to upgrade your non heated mirrors to heated . If so how did you do it ?

You will need to buy the heated mirrors. If heated mirrors were offered on your truck, you just need to plug in the new mirrors. If you have 99-04 when heated mirrors were not offered you will need to make a new connection for the heat feature. You can just wire it to an "accessory on" wire, as that is how Ford has it wired.

X2 on the mirror purchase. I retroed heated power tow mirrors onto my 05 F250SD that came with manual paddle mirrors. Just had to make a JY visit to harvest some plugs and a switch then run the wires, my heated is on a switch so I can control when they are on.

Well, I was not planning on putting heated mirrors on for a while, but my dad was over for a few days providing moral support while I installed my new Red-Head steering gear and power steering pump; to make a long story short, when taking the truck for a test drive, I backed my passenger side mirror into his camper that was pulled close to the driveway to allow him to step straight onto the drive...

I found a pair of power, heated, with signals towing mirrors: PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts -

The drivers side is $100, the passenger $126, with 5% buy now discount they are about $233 shipped.

P.S.: The steering gear and pump got my truck steering like new! Not all is bad news.

Anyone know of a better deal out there?

Your probably going to have to run seperate wires for the signal and heat, you could put the heat on a switch so it only comes on when you need it and the signals you will have to tap into the turn signal wires.

sxrsist 11-02-2011 04:35 PM

do the signal on lights just signal or do they actually have a park light on them to

Bigpipes 35 11-02-2011 06:07 PM

on my 03 they have a parking light on them two so you will have to run that wire too.:-jammin

If anyone puts on new mirrors on their truck...if they come with the square to round connector to install on older 99-02 trucks, I'd appreciate it if you could PM or email me. I'm looking for a set of adapters, especially if someone isn't using theirs.

Thanks!
