Mirrors with blinkers...

[ENIGMA206]

I recently went from an '05 extended cab Z71 to an '06 crew cab Z71. The '05 had blinkers in the rear view mirrors and the '06 doesn't. I really miss the blinkers for in-town driving and towing. I posted on this subject last month about adding the mirrors to my '06 and got some good advice, but have been finding it very expensive to do by purchasing mirrors from Ebay.

 

I have found some stick-on LED flashers at Walmart for $8.00. They actually look pretty good. I was concerned that they would look a little tacky, but I saw some installed that were nice. Now to my questions. Is there a generic, one-size-fits-all, plug under the mirror that already has the flasher voltage or would I have to run a wire all the way to the dash? My other question is, how does the mrror come off? Do you pop off the little plastic triangle inside the door and unbolt the mirror or does it just pop off?

 

Thanks.

Here is a link to the installation instructions on a set of mirrors I put into my truck; http://www.kwmuth.com/techsupport/pdfs/21000150.pdf Go to page 5 and read from there, I believe it will answer all the questions you have.

 

Have a great day.

OK,

I have another question related to this...

 

I havea set of Mirrors with the Signals in them, heated and the drvier side has the Dimming wiring as they were out of a Yukon Denali.

 

Is there anyway to wire up the dimming feature to work? I have the rear view mirror that has the Auto Dim and I am going to bet that I will have to tie into that somehow?

Yes, you can, by connecting it to your rearview mirror. If someone doesn't answer this for you first, I'll send you the info on how to hook it up after i get home.

 

If you don't hear from me in a day or so, send me a reminder PM. I may have forgotten.

my stock mirrors were power only. I got a set of heated, power, turnsignals, power folding, dimming. all my features work and i just plugged them into the stock locations under the power windows/locks buttons on the door. It was a direct plug and play swap.

You may want to consider installing a LED light bar underneath the tailgate. It has running/stop/directional turn signals built in. Definitely eye catching from behind.
