    Awesome video. Thanks for posting. I just lost the passenger side mirror and now have the perfect "reason" to upgrade. I've been wanting these for years. I'm excited to gain the puddle and turn signal features that come with these mirrors.

    So I just put these on my truck, everything worked except the power adjust on the passenger side. Now on my old factory mirrors the power adjust stopped working sometime ago on the passenger side too. I swapped out the adjust switch knob on the driver door and that didn’t fix it…do you think I ended up with a dud? Any ideas would help. Thanks!

    If your factory mirrors lost power adjust, then I don't think you ended up with a dud. Honestly, I would check the fuse and see if that blew out. Thanks for watching!

    I have seen the passenger side vibrate a little while at highway speeds, but my driver side mirror has been fine. The vibration annoyed me the first few days, but you get used to it pretty quick honestly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, ItzStoney!

    @Trick Shift Garage got the mirrors installed. There is some vibration I'll be working on tomorrow. But overall, satisfied with purchase. Also.. I upgraded the standard filament bulb puddle light to an 18 LED replacement. I highly recommend. But if you do.. the originals are stubborn and will most certainly break. And you will have to modify them a tad. (Not plug and play) but worth the 11 bucks I spent.

    The installation was pretty easy honesty. The hardest part was getting the interior door trim to line up perfectly, but even that isn't that hard. Mirrors look good, but I do want to preface this by saying I rarely use the top (bigger) mirrors. I use the bottom (blind spot) mirrors for pretty much everything. There is something about the top mirrors that I don't like. You just don't see a whole lot when looking through them (even though they are massive). Instead of being slightly convex so you can see more around you, to me it looks like they are flat (maybe even slightly concave...for whatever reason). With that said, the bottom mirrors are pretty big too, so I haven't had an issue. Hope this helps!
