Power Vision Mirrors

[Archive]

I installed a set of Power Vision mirrors today and they work great. I got fed up with the vibration of the add on towing mirrors. They strongly recommend that installation be done by an automotive professional, which I am not, but decided to give it a try. This is a time consuming project. Took me almost 8 hours. The template they provide does not quite line up the mounting holes and a Dremel tool will be handy, as you may have to elongate some holes to get it just right. They have fender washers that will go over them. It would be nice if they had a connector that would fit the stock power mirror adjuster instead of having to splice 8 wires in. A new wiring harness is provided and a warning is given not to use the factory power mirror wiring or the units will be damaged. Lots of fun squeezing a square connector, fat wiring harness and a in line fuse through the rubber wiring hose that goes between the door and kick panel. That part alone will probably take most guys three beers. But when all is done, it is worth it. Mirrors work great, almost no vibration. It is kind of pricey, paid $386 from Camping World. Mirrors are very high quality.

Koa man,I can appreciate what you say about routing wires thru the tube between the door and kick panel,it took me three hours(6 pack) to run two wires and I only had to do one side. Fought it for two and a half hours then finally pulled all the wires out,added my two new ones to the bundle then pulled everything back though at once.
