Bought new tow mirrors For my 2014 1500 but have install question

[big_red06]

I bought a set of factory tow mirrors to put on my Bighorn 1500 is this a simple plug and play install unbolt reg mirrors then bolt on the new ones or do i need additional hardware brackets ,screws etc any help would be appreciated

Should have everything you need. There will be nuts zerts to install in the door to bolt on the support brackets. Then mirror bolts on just like the factory one. Very easy install.

I bought them used so i need to get support brackets then can they be installed without the brackets or are they too heavy

I would recommend getting the support brackets. Those mirrors have a lot more weight that the factory ones and also stick out further. May get away with it for awhile but the constant weight may crack the door frame over time. There is a lot of stress right there just opening and closing the door.

Don't forget to order the nut zerts when you order the brackets. The doors do not have them already installed.

Do you have a link of where to order the bracket form

Seeing as how 1A Auto is a sponsor here.

It may or may not be the same, but I'm sure it'll be close

So i believe i have tracked down the right part numbers for the bracket
Im in canada so this was on the moparpartscanada.ca website however the part numbers are pretty much identical for the us website as well they just have a few extra zeros.
Works out to about 70$ canadian. The Nuts seem to be the most expensive at 7$ a piece and considering you need 6 it seems like a lot for that. Gonna look to see if i can get the nuts cheaper elsewhere. Anyone no somewhere cheaper to get the nuts?

Part Number: 68078243AA Bracket Left
Part Number: 68078242AA Bracket Right
Part Number: 6508709AA Screw (3 per side) 6 Total needed
Part Number: 6507161AA Nut (3 per side) 6 Total Needed

he doesn't add any extra support brackets in this video just the three 10 mm bolts mine are not power folding does this matter none of the videos that i have watched show the extra brackets

 

[jaycabral27]

Based on the fact that when you get tow mirrors from the factory they have extra support brackets im assuming that you should add them when changing from non-tow to tow mirrors.
However i have heard of people that havent added the brackets and no issues, however i have also heard from some that the mirror vibrates more without the bracket. So i guess its up to you. I pick up my mirrors monday and i havent decided if i should get the extra support brackets or not.

Anyone running the support brackets? Notice any difference before and after?

Just my pair 'o pennies but if it sticks a foot off of the truck and grabs wind and comes with labeled "support brackets" and they fit, I fer one would be installing them.

"Oh, sweet debt. Thy name is Truck."

I installed my new tow mirrors yesterday afternoon taking advantage of the warmer weather and I found it to be rather simple .I already had the correct module in the doors from the factory so I have my appt at the dealer tomorrow to get the flash to activate the turn signal and puddle lights which will be a nice upgrade because i didn't have them before

 

[jaycabral27]

Looks awesome. Did you end up installing the support brackets or did you not bother? Any vibration at all

Thanks No it's all solid no vibrations at all

I'm picking mine up today so I think I won't put the support brackets for now and see how it works out. Glad yours worked out.

[big_red06]

everything went as planned at the dealership this morning they had me in and out in 20 min now both turn signals and puddle lights function

 

[nadesico25]

Did you get all 3 codes flashed or just the puddle and turn signal codes

not 100% sure about what codes they added but the mirrors fully function as intended
