As promised, they seem very well built very sturdy. only issue i am thinking is that they are at least twice as heavy. so i might look into some brackets.
now i gotta figure out how set the angles on them, when im back up i dunno which mirror to look in hahaha. ill get used to them im sure. heres some pics.

i even install my hids in my hellas and bolting my foxbox down.sounds way better.

i dunno why they look so blue they are the same as my headlight 35watt 6k
i think maybe just the angle i gotta wait till dark to aim them.

They look good.When you took your door panel of after unbolting does it lift up or pull straight out? Also are the convex mirrors adjustable or fixed Thank's Tux.

you just lift up and out, the convex mirrors are adjustable. the mirrors themself are very good quality you see so much behind you. well worth the $270

the only vibration i see is when i close my door, i crank up my system and only my rearview shakes. when the mirrors are pulled up 90 degrees they shake a little when i hit bumps nothing too bad, i ordered some brakets for them.

Those look factory! I hope they treat you well.
I also wish my wife was'nt so hung up on how they look i.e. not painted vs. their function while pulling our 35.5' long monstrosity...
Let us know how you like them, if they shake at highway speed, any differences in mileage, etc.

Looks good. Ive been looking at those too. What bracket did you get. Do they break away like the old ones to fold into the door? Do those have the turns and puddle lights?

MX; Are the brackets for the tow mirrors you ordered the ones that mount on the inside of the door to the mirror bolts? Thank's Tux.

Where did you get these from? I must have missed the thread where you were talking about them.

yes you can buy them from the dealer, you will have to ask for the brackets
for a 2500 they will fit on a 1500 they are around 30-40 bucks
