So long story short wife side swiped another car to avoid an accident and my mirror got busted. I'm at work but apparently they are aftermarket mirrors per local dodge dealership. So now I'm in the market for new mirrors. Any suggestions? My ram is a '12 CC express white. Can I get power folding mirrors and wire it up? I'd like to at least get mirrors with blinkers and puddle lights on them but power folding would be optimal. IMG_8777.JPG

I'd talk to 1A_Tony at 1A Auto, one of your Preferred Vendors here. They have mirrors for your truck in a lot of different configurations.

You are only limited to what you can operate with your current truck's switches, wiring or sales codes. However, you can upgrade and get the correct switches for operation and have the sales codes flashed to your truck.

Where did you pick up the sport mirrors from? Would I have to stay with 12's or will any 4th gen work? As far as the power folding ones go

From Rick ...
On the 13 and up mirrors the temperature sensor is in the driver side door mirror.
I am not sure if you can put the 13 and up on the 12 you might be able to because the 12 and lower the temperature sensor is not mounted in the mirror so they might work but I'm not positive.
