I'll bet he meant "oem style" or "oem appearance". Still, that would be very nice.

Cipa makes xtendable trailer towing mirrors for the 02' with power and heat. I love the ones that I put one my truck they mount right where the stock ones do and they use the OME plugs.

I did mine the hard way...negotiated free towing mirrors on my wife's 03, when they arrived, installed them and she didn't like'em. I put the standard pwr/htd ones back on her truck and did the surgery to tranfer the 03 towing mirror heads to the 02 mounts, bought the factory toggle swith and heat switch and a whole day of work. Love the results.

Do our trucks have the wiring in place even if we don't have electric mirrors? If so then all that is needed would be the factory-style switchs to make them work?

SMoules, Thank you for the find ! I've been looking/hoping to find this very thing. I've been using those cheap slide over extension mirrors over my stock heated power mirrors every time I hook up to my 5th wheel and I hate them. You made me happy but my wife is a little ticked at you for making me spend $379.00.
Regards, Mike.

SMoules,

If these are truly OEM quality (the pictures look good) and work as the OEM ones do, you've found an outstanding option to the DIY conversion. I just recently installed my OEM converted set and they're nice, but it was a lot of work hunting down the non-powered version for the bases and the proper (used) powered ones for the arm and mirror head, then doing the conversion work. I figure I have about $220 tied up in each of mine so these Kool Vue mirrors are a great bargain.

Wish I'd seen these 4 months ago!

-Jay

Great find! Just showed these to the wife and her response was "you haven't ordered them yet?"
