Tow mirror replacements?

Orion said:

Wanting to get rid of the chrome mirrors on my truck plus get rid of the ugly black covers I have on them, figured I might as well get some tow mirrors. I was looking around online and stumbled across these on ebay: 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Power Heat Flip Up Tow Mirrors+LED Turn Signal Lights | eBay Has anyone had any experience with these?​

I honestly think the tow mirrors look better size wise on the 1500s, changes up the look for the better.

Yep, those are the ones. One thing you'll read in the comments is the length of the studs on the mirrors. The frontmost stud needs to have about 1/4" trimmed off of it so it doesn't make contact with the body when closing the door. Dremel, hack saw, whatever takes the end off quickly.

No, it's a direct swap. They bolt right up to Factory locations.

Funny you should ask....Wind blowing like crazy here right now and just got off the highway. They are very stable....mostly no vibration. I haven't noticed any since installing them. They feel very sturdy, well packaged, good product. My only gripe I mentioned above is the wiring in the housings. It should've been taped or put in a loom, etc. Not enough to really bother me though.
