I have a 2018 GMC sierra, I currently have chrome power folding heated, puddle and directional lights. I ordered the trail ridge power folding tow mirrors on Ebay.. Does anyone make an adaptor harness to install these or can the addition wires be added to the factory plug. Thanks. Im new to the site.

Hey Brian,

Welcome! I do have provisions to support the Trail Ridge Mirrors. Send me a link to the mirrors so I can validate the fitment for your truck. I make harnesses for this upgrade so that it is completely Plug and Play when you get it.

Send me a PM and we continue this offline.

Once again Phil is the man. Ordered his plug and play harness for the 1A Auto 1798 mirrors which are the 1786 but with the passenger sensor for the Duramax diesels.  Ordered and received within 5 days, followed his instructions and videos. Took about an hour for the first side and about 15 minutes for the other once I knew what to expect. The final product is pimp daddy and complements the truck well and has every bell and whistle.  Phil was available for any questions and super responsive. He IS the go to for this application.

Hi Phil my name is Joe and I'm in serious need of your assistance if possible I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 4 Dr. Extended cab with DL 8 mirrors and I Want to upgrade to the towing DL3 style . However before I seen some of your posts my girl bought me some OEM aftermarket mirrors that look exactly like the real Chevy OEM DL3 mirrors but when I opened the box it said may need some extra harnesses and something about flashing or programming them. After talking with my local Chevy dealer they want a huge amount of money to install and harness them with no guarantee at all and a open end account to keep charging me if what they do doesn't work and after reading a lot of your posts you seem to have a mountain of knowledge in this area and I guess I was wondering if you could contact me so I could order a set of the correct harnesses from you and send you my stalk harnesses from my truck if it is something you can help me with my Email is [email protected].

         Thank you for your time and Congratulations on over coming your battle with such a awful sickness my prayers and my family's prayers are with you and your family as we also have been touched by that sickness again thank you for your time Joe V

Joe,

Thanks for reaching out. Please send me a PM and can go from there. I have not worked in aftermarket DL3 Mirrors so I’ll need to validate some things.

Thanks!

Phil is going to at least need the trim level of your truck. You should try reading the first page of this thread if you haven’t already. Lots of info.

New to the group and wow all the information is overwhelming, 99 pages on towing mirrors alone.

Here is where I need some help, I have a 2018 Silverado 2500HD WT that came with DL8 Mirrors (remote adjust & heat) and I purchased towing mirrors from 1A Auto - but they will not help me with what wires to tap into to add the turn signal, running light & cargo light functions to my new truck to help me tow.

 

I have the mirrors installed, all the wires run through both door jams and into the cab under the dash ...   HERE IS WHERE I NEED SOME HELP. 

 

Can anyone tell me what under the dash control module, and what wires to tap into to get these new functions to perform? 

 

The mirrors I purchased were 1A Auto TRMRP00045 which has a 4 wire harness included to use to tap into the truck,

The included wire harness has 4 wires Red = turn signals, Yellow = marker Lamp, White = Positive for high-power LED cargo spots & black = Common ground.  See Below

 

PLEASE HELP !!!

Anyone know if you can change out the ambler lens cover of the OEM mirrors out with a clear or smoke lens like you see on some of the aftermarket ones?

Yes - you’d have the cut them open (like with a hot knife or dremel - not sure what the pros use). Then you can put clear/smoke lens on the and seal them up.

Bummer - Wish you had reached out to me before starting. I have provisions for this mirror and a DIY Kit (for $65) and all you would have needed to do is land them at the door jamb.

 

Here is a pic that you’ll need to wire these up. The circuits are at the door jamb.

Do you think spraying a couple coats of like VHT night shades would work?

I have had zero experience with that

I used tinted vinyl and a heat gun over the amber lens. Has been on for a couple years and has not peeled at all. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks Phil, Damn-it should have done my research prior to install and not after, I was counting A1 Auto helping but they were not at all helpful ... ok so at this point I need to tap into the wires connected to X500/x600 connector for corresponding pins #9, 11 & 41. Can you get to the back of that connector in the door jams on each side? Do you have any idea what color the corresponding wires are? Thanks for all the help/info
