The mirrors are not particularly difficult to install, although they are a lot easier with a helper. If you do not already have towing mirrors, you will need to get the reinforcing brackets as well. And no, they do not come with the switch; you would need to get one at a junk yard.

The wires are almost always in place. You can always pull the door panel off to check. I have always seen the wiring on the ones I looked at.

My KoolVue are power/heated

Great post guys. I also have the "non" power tow mirrors in my 02 will definitely look into a heated power set. Also as a side note. My truck doesn't have Keyless entry bought it from original owner he says didn't come with the option. Would command start allow the keyless feature??
