Best Mirror/Backup light install I have seen so far! it truly took me an hour and 10 minutes to install and activate the LED Back up lights (including leveling the mirrors, organizing/hiding the wiring back in December. Great job!

Just installed my 2015+ tow mirrors today this vid was really helpful. That little piece of plastic idea for the rotating point was a great idea! Thanks

@BERTRAND85O 6 лет назад

glad I could help man

Super straight forward and clearly explained. Gonna do this today, thank you!!

@larrysmith1568 4 года назад

I just installed these on my 2004 HD duramax. They look good and work as advertised.

@seanjost7160 Год назад

Thanks for the tips on grinding down the edges! I didnt think of that when I first put mirrors on my truck, and that plastic piece kept popping off because of how I had adjusted the angle. Trip to the car wash, and no more plastic piece... Getting a new set soon, and grinding down the edges like you did should fix my issue! Thanks again!

I just ordered a set of these mirrors for my 1990 Chevy K3500 Extended Cab 1-Ton 4x4 Dually that I am getting ready to spray the entire truck in 3 colors of Raptor bed liner. This truck never had power mirrors or anything, so I first have to figure out how to get rubber wire looms in the doors before I can get these mirrors wired up. It will be a huge task to get these mirrors all wired up, but it will definitely make this 1990 Dually stand out when it is done.

Great video!! So the earlier ('99-'02) trucks OEM mirrors are different from the '03 & up? & thats why they need to be leveled?

@brandonboyd2046 6 лет назад

When you say a plastic piece for the mirror to rest on so it would be more sturdy, what do you mean by that?

@davidm4160 3 года назад

But when you put the spacers behind the mounting screws to level the mirror it changes the way the clamping and the detent works and the mirrors do not lock in well and the wind at highway speeds makes them move.

@KevinsGames199 5 лет назад

Do you always have to route that wire to the fuse box?

The problem I have with leveling mirror is, your taking tension off spring that hold the mirror in place. Going down the road the wind shakes it.

@galipeau169 5 лет назад

Anychance you could tell me what the height is between the the arms on the mirror

@mateo32755 4 года назад

I was wondering if there was a way to level them up to make em look factory installed. I see so many around my hometown that don't look good because they are angled upwards. Thanks for the info. Now I'm thinking of buying some for my 2004. Only thing I pull on occasion is my brothers pontoon boat, but when I do I sure could use them.

@BERTRAND85O 4 года назад

They are great to have man! Check out boost auto parts

@fishing_with_chaz 3 года назад

Yeah there's a cap on the outside under the 2 arms that pops. Off and you can shim. To level

@jayramagost5852 Год назад

I have these on my dually and for some reason the passenger side mirror is at a different angle than the driver side. I’m talking about how you can fold the mirror against the truck and forward. It had like 3 or 4 notches u can put it at and they are different, the passenger side does not land in the right spot. I’m gonna take the cover of the passenger and see if something can be adjusted on that. IDK

@dylansmith3 Год назад

Where can I get paint matched mirrors? Can only find chrome or textured

@tjshine8022 6 лет назад

Sharp truck! Nobody mentions whether these mirrors are full powered? Do the remote adjusters work Up/Down & In/Out? Do they have the motors to extend and retract?

@aaronvanaaken3509 5 лет назад

no motor to extend them out, but they do have the motor to move the glass

How functional are the clearance lights? I’ve never had them but they look like they might help with backing up a trailer at night. Do they actually help anything or are they just for looks?

The stock or aftermarket reverse light is not that bright. But Boostautoparts sells a easy replacement high power light.

Ruben- I Have an 03 and I purchased the "2015 Style" for it, when I Purchased them I made sure they were for my year and everything was plug and play. You shouldn't have any issues UNLESS you are buying mirrors with Options your truck did not come with. If thats the case you will have to wire them up yourself.

I think the guy in the video showed how to wire it up so they come on in reverse. To make them work how you want they would need to be wired into the outside courtesy lamp circuit the original mirrors puddle lamps work on.

Glad I watched this right before installing mine. It’s a joke how they bolt on tilting up so far.. I have to say, Dodge tow mirrors are better then Gm’s.. I bought a set off eBay back in the day for the ol 2nd Gen and they bolted right on no problem and sat perfectly level and probably even look better then the Gm ones and perform better. But hey, you live and you learn right? I would have to say dodge is the winner for best tow mirrors on this planet 🌎
