Hi PGamboa.  I have read through the posts in this thread and am getting ready to upgrade the mirrors on my 2015 Sierra 1500 SLE.  It appears that there are many combinations of features in GMC mirrors, so here is what I have:  They are ( or appear to be ) stock, and are pretty plain, only having power glass adjust.  I am looking to upgrade to mirrors with turn sigs, markers and heated glass.  While I would enjoy puddle lights, and the cargo lamps, those are not "absolutely needed".  As the saying goes, nice, but not needed, so it they happen, great, but it is not a show-stopper if they don't.  One thing that I do not want, or need, is the power fold feature.

From reading the posts, I understand that some models have all the pins in the connectors, some don't.  So, my first question is "how do I tell", is it by sending you a picture?  If so, is it the connector that you want to see IN the door, or is it the one in the door jamb? 

Secondly, I want, no this is a "need" to add heated glass.  I suspect this is not as easy..... What controls the element?  I have talked with some guys who say there is a separate switch in the door switch panel for the heater, but a couple of other guys say the mirror heat is wired to come on when the rear window heating element in on.  If it is the separate switch, be aware that my GMC does NOT have a switch in the door for mirror heat.  What do I do about that?  ....it sounds as if I also need a new door console.

Next, I have searched the internet and have found mirrors similar to those that I want, HOWever, if you have a "suggested vendor" or if you sell them, I would just as soon get them from you, in view of all of the good comments regarding you on this site. 

Finally, I understand that the moderators of the forum may not appreciate all this on the bulletin board, if we need/should take this off line, let me know how to contact you.  Also, I am not in a great hurry on this, it is still winter in western NY, I am just getting my "ducks in a row" and will actually DO this, when it warms up.
