I'm wondering since I will never use the lights on the front of my mirrors if there is a way to get them to come on with the parking lights and then I can change the bulbs to Amber and use them like the towing mirror parking lamps? Seems like it shouldn't be that hard but I'm no electrical genius for sure!

Following.... I'd just like to know how to get them to come on with the puddle lights....

Following....great idea. Also, I wish there was something that would come on the dash to show if they were on. Ive hit that button by mistake instead of the fog lights. And no idea if I turn them off without getting out of the truck.

To turn them off keep hitting the button, or just drive, once you start driving they shut off automatically.

Thanks! I didn’t know if you drove they turned off. I know if you keep hitting them they turn off. Just would be nice if they had something inside to say/show they were on.

Yeah, thats how I wound up with them. I originally thought they were mirror mounted turn signals.

 

My only wish is that you could stop the folding mirror part way to have them point where you want.

I wish there was an indicator light too. I also think the button placement is odd and should’ve been swapped with the fog light button.

My previous truck had the fog lights on the main light switch, where the mirror task lights are now.
I think of the task lights as being similar to the bed lights & should be placed next to each other.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
