Converting to Towing Mirrors
My brother has a 1999 F-250 XLT with the V10. It has those pathetic looking little side-view mirrors. He tows stuff all the time, and he wants the towing mirrors. We both agree that it would look better.
Can we install these oueselves? The regular mirrors he has are power with no turn signal. We want to replace them with the towing mirrors (power, no signal). Where can I get these and how difficult are they to put on?
Thanks.

Well, the seventy dollars was a price my brother said he was told. It was dead wrong. Stopped by Ford today... $336 per mirror (power, no signal, manual telescoping).
I was planning on buying them for my brother and suprising him... now I'll just tell him how much they are.
I love the guy, but not that much.

The other thing that worries me is that they say it fits 99-04 trucks and thats not right. They'll bolt on, but the wiring is not the same, so its not a plug and play deal. Its no big deal if you're decent at wiring, but you'd have to cut off the plugs on both ends to make it work (if you get a 02-04 for a 99-01 truck or vise versa).
