Holy crapola this is way more complex than I thought it was. Last week I headed out to pick and pull for two mirrors for my 2004 ford and all I brought was a drill and my screwdrivers. I was turned away because I had my four year old son with me. I was mad. But I am less mad today because I wouldn’t have been able to remove them anyway. So from me to you, THANKS. You make it seem like I will still be able to achieve this by myself; I was just unaware that you had to go through the door- makes sense tho. Happy spring and thanks again, my dood ✌️
Wow what a great walkthrough you made my life much easier thank you. Also you helped me realize there is some missing hardware from my door after the last guy “fixed” it.
Great vid, was a big help. I just installed the same mirrors on my 08 f150, was very excited to find out both blinkers and puddle lights worked. Not sure why the stock mirrors only had the turn signal on the passenger mirror when both were wired from the factory. Thanks again for your vid!! 💀👍🏻
This video was really informative and made it really smooth and easy to get this done on my 2006 F150, I thought I ordered about the same one through the Walmart app, the turn signal works on the mirror. Thanks!
@bobby greenwood, do you still have the link for the mirror that you bought? I have an 06 F150 and I would like to upgrade my mirrors to this but I would like for the turn signal to work, but do want to add any electrical stuff
A truck with the same mirrors came into my shop today. Customer asked me to get the puddle lights to work. I'm actually wondering if it's the same truck. I'm in Washington state
I have these exact mirrors on my truck. I'm trying to figure out how to get it apart to replace the turn signal light. I know I gotta pop the mirror out but don't know how.
Thanks bro; good video. Unfortunatley I have done this before but just wanted a quick review. The most complex part is getting the door pannel off and so many different tools. It goes much faster when all tools are kown beforehand rather than searching for each one when you need it.
Hey bro so I took the side mirrors with the turn signals on them off of a 2008 lariat & put them on a regular 2006 f150 & the turn signals don’t light up at all. I did notice that the ones I put on were orange on the signals but on the old ones the left one only had the signal but it was clear. Just wondering how I can make the turn signals work
If its for looks, its the stupidest thing u can get on that f150 but if its for towing its alright. The 2004-2008 already has one of the best side mirrors of all its competitors of that same year.
Gilbert espinoza because stock mirrors didn't have a turn signal, turn signals on new mirrors didn't work either because it requires an extra wire in the plug.
TheWillToFix That plug shown only controls defrost on that model. Was gonna wire in the puddle lights on mine for that conversion, but decided to just put puddle lights wired under door panel on bottom...I think they work better there anyway since the door isn't blocking half the light. I take it your puddle lights didn't work either?
jakobud since you have turn signals as stock, new mirrors that come with turn signals should work. Mirrors on the video are only compatible from 2004-2006 F150.

Randy O, I did get my tow mirrors and they are installed. I do have the old mirrors. 2005 F150 Lariat Screw - Power, heated and turn signals all working but the passengers side turn signal is missing part of the amber lens- (04-06 direct replacement and 07-14 some alterations need to be made to the pin outs)
Can’t thank you enough. I would have never found all those hidden bolts without your tutorial.
You’re the man!
Thanks for posting. You made an easy job even easier. My favorite part was telling me all the tools I would need at the beginning.
Thanks for the vid took me an hour to install both. Can't beat the price

That tutorial was OUTSTANDING! You ought to be a college Professor. Thanks!

Donde se consiguen los espejos como se llaman
you went into great detail! first mirror took me a bit, but took the second one down back up in less than 15 minutes
our video helped me a lot. I appreciate it for the explanation

Awesome instruction!!! I followed along without any problem. You rock!!! Thanks!!
Much appreciated. Just changed mine and you covered everything. Thanks!

Doing mine today thanks 👊🏻
Dang. I was hoping you actually upgraded the wiring and connections for the signal and puddle lights.

Hey thanks for the info!

Thanks for show how easy is remove de door panels, the turn signal works? Puddle light works??
Thanks.

Mirrors looks hard to remove but its very simple doing it in person.
EXCELLENT tutorial. Good Job.
Side note, did not take 6 minutes. DO NOT DO THIS AT NIGHT. 😭😭🙏 thanks for the video though amazing content
THANKS A BIG LOT!!!
This might be a stupid question but can you see yourself in the mirror?Like your reflection while your driving?
No 😂 no you should not be seeing yourself. You should see the sides of the rear of your truck and anything behind you.
I have an 04 f150 and i also bought some mirrors with the turning signal but unfortunately when i turn the signal they don’t light up
Did the lights worked?
Do you need to take the door panel off?
@thewilltofix - did your blinker light turn on?
Do you think those mirrors fit on my 05 f-150 king ranch I have
need help setting up my puddle lights
can you put a link to the mirror that you found on ebay, would a f250 mirror work?
looks great, link didn't work unfortunately
Those mirrors have a separate motor for bottom mirrors so the other side will be hard to see out of
Just manually adjust them.
Can’t you just use your socket set instead of the 2 nut drivers? Also, what is “this tool”?
Watched most of the vid and yeah looks like a regular socket extension should be good
Do 2010 mirrors fit a 2008 Ford F-150
Ya any mirrors from the 11th and 12 gen will fit
You of course plugged in the wiring connection at the mirror
thanks for the info . very easy .
Does the turn signal on the mirrors blink?
Yes
No
How you pass the inspection sticker if the turn signal don't work im from texas
Gilbert espinoza As long as your factory turn signals work you will pass. These are auxiliary turn signals.
They also see them without signals built in
Depends where you live. In MA you add them they must work.
Easy put the stock ones back on the day before
If its for looks, its the stupidest thing u can get on that f150 but if its for towing its alright. The 2004-2008 already has one of the best side mirrors of all its competitors of that same year.
Well sh*t. I was kinda hoping I could upgrade the mirror and make use of that little marker turn signal. Now I know it won't work. Saved me some $$$$.
Did the turn signal work
Gilbert espinoza because stock mirrors didn't have a turn signal, turn signals on new mirrors didn't work either because it requires an extra wire in the plug.

I take it your puddle lights didn't work either?
Keaton Wright yes puddle lights did not work. The only thing that works is defrost and of course adjusting the mirrors.
