So you did get the 2003 mirrors, that's a start! Now you will need a set of the towing mirrors for our 2nd gen (94-02) trucks and then swap out the mounts. The 2003 mirrors will not fit as is on your truck. Just making sure you're aware of that fact! :)
 
I just finished the install this past Saturday. All I can say is :D :D



It has probably been one of my best Bombs yet. I got an offer that I couldn't refuse from a friend for the mirrors. The hardest part was getting the springs to remain compressed enough forthe reassembly. I found that tightly twisted mechanics wire does a preety good job. I just took my time with a little patience. The whole conversion took about 8 hours with a few breaks for lunch etc. To solve the rubbing on the mirrors controls on the top drivers side mounting bolt, I changed out the included nut with the captured washer with a metric flat washer and jamb nut. The jamb nut which is about 1/2 the thickness of a standard nut provided the additional clearance required for the back of the switch with no cutting of the stud required.



I have a few pics in my readers rig section of the install.



I also posted the wiring colors in the other tow mirror thread.
 
I'm getting ready to...

Guys:



I had the dealer throw them in on the deal when I bought my wife's '03. They were on national backorder for over a month and when they came in, the dealer installed them. Well, my wife don't like 'em and wants me to put the regular mirrors back on. That means, whenever I get the time, I'll get my 3500 setup: I mix up the parts, buy me a contol switch and a heater switch and I'll be cooking with gas.

Got a question, I have an 01 with the towing mirrors. I would like to convert to the 03 power mirrors. How hard is it to add in all the power stuff.

If anyone wants the regular 2nd gen power heated mirrors, I would be willing to maybe swap so I can get the sails for the towing mirrors... I would like to get this show on the road, so anyone interested, PM me. .

Ok... I know I asked this before, but are you sure you cannot use the fins from the 98 power heated mirrors??? it looks like it may be possible. . Has anyone tried??? Sorry to keep pestering everyone. The mirrors got here today, and cant wait to get them on!!

Well, ordered the set from the 2nd gens today... now, its show time when they arrive! Already got the 3rd gen set taken apart, so now its a matter of the waiting game!

Curious how it goes.

I installed towing mirrors on mine a few months ago but have not purchased the 03 set to gut the power components yet.
