Comparison between standard DL8 and S4O/DPN Towing Mirrors

lawnboy-5247 · December 11, 2015

I am going to have the Towing mirror kit installed on my 2014 Sierra next Wednesday and I Figured I would start a thread With information about the functionality of the new tow mirrors on a 2014 along with a comparison between View in the two Mirrors; Since there seems to be no good thread comparing the view between the two.

Good luck. Are you going to have the outside orange LEDs as blinkers or running lights ? Had the same change on my 14 Sierra.

I'm in for pics

They will be running lights, everything is being wired with factory harnesses and will function like factory.

Here are the pics with the standard mirrors, you can see the terrible blind spot on both mirrors that drives me nuts. the little convex mirror on the drivers side is also a joke it does not help with much of anything. Trying to see around a trailer with theses things is also basically pointless, You can do it but it is a pain. My other gripe is the lack of a signal in the mirror which I find to be a good safety feature, especially when towing.

Here are the pics of the truck before and after, I will get view comparisons later this week.

How much did this swap cost?

Great mod lawnboy

They look good on your truck. More importantly the increased viewing area of your mirrors.

What functions do you have? Power adjust, power fold, heat, turn signals?

Also a complete list of part numbers would be great.

Great pics and look. How much ?

Also interested in cost. I found mirrors for about $500 plus harnesses, so about $650. +/- $50. You also probably had to pay labor, at about 3 hours I'm imagining +$300. Somewhere around a grand? How far off am I?

lawnboy-5247 · December 19, 2015

Overall cost was about $1300, $1075 For the parts and $240 for labor. I could have got parts cheaper but a dealership that had actually done the retrofit before offered me that price which was close enough to the price online including shipping and tax The price is also higher since I needed the RZY harness along with the door harnesses. I have attached two sheets one is a overview of the mirrors, the other is a updated part number chart. The updated chart is the one with some things highlighted in red.

The mirrors have all the functions: Power top glass, Turn signals, amber running lights, reverse lights and heat but; they are only manual folding. The only thing I am having problem's with is the reverse lights. Since my cargo lights still turn off in reverse I cannot use them in reverse but, the dealer is looking into fixing it. They are contacting GM about it and they said that even if gm tells them they cannot do it they are pretty sure their programming tech can do it anyway, If they cannot fix it I Will do the jumper wire mod

I will say, If you get them, you will not be able to believe how much better the view is and How useful the adjustable lower convex mirror is.

Those mirrors look great. That's exactly what I want to do to my truck when I save up enough money. Thanks for posting the files. I downloaded them for future use.
