Will tow mirrors for a 15 fit and work properly on my 18 2500?
I have power,heated, temp and puddle lights. The ones I’m looking at are on eBay

I'd be wary of that mirror offer. They are stating 09-15, but the mirrors changed slightly in '13. The temp sensor moved to the mirror. So if they are "correct" for an 09-12, they will not work correctly on a '13+ (you will get a CEL and the engine/tranny will not run right due to lack of external temp input). Now, they may have the temp sensor and if so, it being there will not bother a pre '13 truck, so that could be why they claim that year range. But I would contact them and get a 100% verification that the temp sensor is present before buying. Looking at the picture, I do not see it. (Should be on the lower front edge of the arm on the driver mirror).

I wouldn't buy those from Ebay. Get Trail Ridge brand from 1aauto.com. They're more expensive, but I bet many users on the board here will attest to their quality and customer service. I installed mine a couple of weeks ago. They were $400 and worth every penny.

Yup, I've got the Trail Ridge ones and you can't tell the difference between them and OEM.

If you don't have the mirror turn signal or puddle lights on your factory mirrors do you have to get your truck flashed by the dealer. I have an Express and it only has power and heated mirrors.

Yes you can have the dealer flash the LEB and LEC codes or you can enable the codes with the alfa tool.

If you have tow mirrors you need wireless cab lights no holes to drill remote controlled 3 modes including strobe. Comes in white light or amber. Three lens choices clear amber and smoked. Only from caboveramerica.com

The real difference is in the wires and my own mirrors had ****** wires the trails are much better then OEM.

If you buy after market mirrors read carefully to make sure they have the ambient temp sensor. Some may have everything else you want but will be missing that. I bought a set and never realized it didn't have the sensor until after they were mounted. I got creative and remove the sensor from the old mirror and installed it in the new one.
