I was wondering the same thing. Had asked on another thread but no responses. Side warning would be an extra bonus, but just the features you listed would be awesome.

I like the signal, auto dimming features.

The lights on the front of the mirrors aren’t turn signals, they are spot lights. Only the gigantic towing mirrors have turn signals in them.
 

Haven’t seen anyone do what you’re attempting but can 100% guarantee it ain’t plug and play because nothing is on these trucks. Adding options after the fact is never easy and sometimes impossible.

I added the oem fog lights, painted mirror caps, auto dimming mirror, console lid and now the full led headlights, grill and harness...so far so good. But those were easy ones.  The mirrors I know the light on the front is like an entry light when unlock the doors and the auto dimming is nice too. They are nice but not really needed. My custom is fine now as is...just an idea.

The lights on the front don’t come on when you unlock. They only come on with the switch on the dash, and only in park. They are actually pretty much useless. There are puddle lights that shine the ground when you unlock or get out, but that’s it.


Anything needing a BCM reflash, like the folding mirrors...usually a dead end...but good luck.

Thanks for clearing that up,I appreciate the info.

Here’s what I’m thinking of trying. I have the basic Custom door mirrors without task lighting. Not that I think I’d use the task lighting much, but I think those mirrors look much better, and plan on painting the mirror caps to match my truck in Northsky Blue, which are not available off the shelf. There does not appear to be different door wiring harnesses between the Custom mirrors and the basic task lighting mirrors from what I have seen on parts lists, so I assume that the wiring harnesses are the same. If anyone has more detail on this please let me know. Now, I am also planning on adding the fog light kit. I am going on the assumption I can get the switch set for With task lighting and when I have the dealership reflash the fog lights then, if they weren’t plug and play, the task lights on the mirrors as well. Anyway, that’s my plan. Am I being naive? I don’t know if there is a different wiring harness to that switch. At this point all variables are in the wiring harnesses.

Going to do a test in a day or so, I picked up a set of mirrors with task lighting pretty cheap. I got the light switch too for it too, I'm wondering is the wiring there for it....it's a cross my fingers deal.  Would be nice since I have the power tailgate, bed lights, tailgate light etc.

 

I did the led lt headlight and grill upgrade and ll od that works perfect. The drl goes out with the turn signal too.

I changed the switch and both mirror heads today, they don't work. Supposedly I can get the harness to make them work. I'll know for sure later today.

Did you go

for power folding? No dice on getting it to work? (Also, we Appreciate you doing all this testing for us all!)

These aren't power folding, sorry.   These are just self dimming, task light and blind spot.  The power and self dimming work, task lights even with the switch do not. Looking into that tho, not sure if they can be turned on in the bcm or do I need a harness.  As for the blind spot there's alot to that so that's out..lol.

 

I was so glad to get the scratched mirror and the drivers stock mirror has that little mirror in the corner. I hated it..lol

I figured out how to make the lights work in the mirrors, they can be turn signal or come on when you unlock it.  Between the doors there's a cap. It has a bunch of terminals in that spot.  I'd imagine it would be better when you unlock or use the cab light.  Thinking about it, its not going to be easy to make the light color match the led turn signals.

Do they work with your fog lights? There are two different part numbers for fogs depending on the switch inside the truck.

 

I know you upgraded your lights, did that include the fogs? Did you replace the switch?

 

I want to add these mirrors, but I want to make sure the fogs will still work.

 

Sorry for adding to an old post, but this is the most on topic I could find.

What’s the part number for the auto-dimming mirror??

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
