I have a 2000 dodge 2500. I just have regular powered mirrors. I'm looking into putting some tow mirrors on and just have a few questions.
1st: how capatable are tow mirrors across the generations? I saw a video of a dude who put 4th gen mirrors on his 2nd gen, and it seemed to go smoothly and he didn't have to do anything special. Are all generation mirrors 2nd and newer interchangeable? And does that capatability go for the wiring as well as the physical fit?
2nd: I'm sure I can figure this out by opening mine up and looking at it, but maybe you can save me the hassle. My mirrors are powered, but don't have blinkers. If I bought tow mirrors that have blinkers, would it be as easy as just plugging it in to the same connection? Or would I have to get a new connection or run more wires?
3rd: give me a little insight on what type of mirrors to buy. Are there some that are higher quality? Are there different brands? Or are all of them the exact same thing just sold by different people. I assume there has to be a difference in quality, because I've seen them range from 400 to 200. And some have a brand name attached, and some don't.
