Nice video dude. I just got my mirrors in today and will install ASAP
Nice! Let me know how it goes!
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.
I'm still enjoying them also. The puddle lights are a nice touch when unlocking at night. Thanks for watching! 🤟
Welp, thanks for giving me the info I needed to pull the trigger on these mirrors
No problem, thanks for watching! 🤟
i bought the same kind for my truck the thing is my turn signal and puddle light doesnt come on when installed them can u help me out how i can get them to work and plus my passenger mirror wont work i have to do it my self any help
You have to plug in the wire harness. That's all I did. Make sure it's secured.
@@TrickShiftGarage I did on both sides nothing happen
Thanks so much! I was wondering if they folded?
Absolutely! And yes, they do fold manually. Unfortunately, they do not fold automatically.
Thank you, do you mind telling me how? I just bought these and can’t figure it out. Appreciate it!
Oh wait never mind sorry😅
Lol it's all good brother! Just a little push and bam! Lol thanks for watching man. 🤟
I've read several comments on vibrations coming from either side. Have you had this issue at all with this brand? Thanks! Good vid, buddy!
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 right on! I'm a mechanic myself so.. already thinking of ideas to reduce any vibration issues. My mirros will be in next week, if I develop a good solution for this, I'll be sure to comment about it!
That would be great man! I (along with others I'm sure) would really appreciate it!
@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.
ItzStoney Awesome! I need to upgrade to LED's too. Those halogens are so dull.
Very nice. Thinking about swapping out our factory ones .
These work very well. I think I may remove then soon and get them painted. Kind of want some white ones.
Did you order these off of Amazon?
I have links in the description to Amazon where you can find them!
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!
Why not do the updated design?
I filmed this awhile ago, but can look into it!
Does this actually fit a 2006 F150 on the link it says 07- 2014 but your video says 05-2014???
Hello Laf345! These are actually for the 2007 - 2014 F150. Sorry about that, I will update the video.
Here is the correct link for the 2004 - 2006 Ford F150:
amzn.to/3jkDSQ7
I hope this helps!
I have an ‘08 lariat 4x4. No puddle light. You think it will automatically work with the installation?
Absolutely it will! I didn't have a puddle light either and it still worked. I think Ford uses the same wire harness for all trucks. Thanks for watching! 🤟
Awesome video.. do they vibrate when driving?
Thanks Dark Horse! The passenger side does vibrate a little, but it doesn't affect my vision enough to make me want to change them out. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! 🤟
What is the name of the tool you are using?
Are you referring to the pick to remove those plastic trim panels? Here is a link for a set:
CARTMAN Precision 4 Piece Pick and Hook Set - amzn.to/3wWR73z
I appreciate it. Also the other tool to remove the bolts? I'm not really familiar with tools lol
Lol no problem brother! That's called a drive socket. I paired it with a 3 inch extension to make reaching those bolts easier.
This is a great starter set if you are interested! amzn.to/48YwfGj
Man I really appreciate it stay bless 💯
Anytime! And thanks for watching our video! 🤟
Does the passenger side have a convex mirror? I’m getting mixed reviews on Amazon.
Hello Chris! Yes, both of them have the convex mirrors. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! How have they held up? Thinking of pulling the trigger on these…I’m not super mechanically inclined so hoping these will be an easy install.
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!
Thanks again for your help man! I just ordered my set now! My existing ones have heat and signals, no puddle lamps though so I’ll be stoked if I gain those.
Absolutely brother! You will gain puddle lamps with these, which is a nice touch when you unlock your truck. I love the way it looks.
Let us know if you ever have any other questions! We try to be as active on here as possible!
Does the heated function work on these as stated
Yes they do! I'm trying to figure out how to do a video showing them in action, but haven't gotten to it yet. But yes they do heat up also.
@@TrickShiftGarage Awesome Thanks!
No problem and thanks for watching! 🤟
How did you get the heat to work?
It's built into the harness on my truck. I wasn't sure if it worked or not until one day it was below freezing and I noticed it. Pretty useful.
