Default Towing mirror website, cheap!

I just ordered a set of koolvues from here, and got them cheaper than I've seen anywhere else, so I figured I'd share the link, in case anyone else is looking to find them....or for a Christmas present idea for their significant other to get them....

Discount Auto Mirrors - Replacement Car Mirror at Wholesale Prices

just look up the mirror under an 01 dodge ram 2500, and they'll come up...
about $50 bucks per for the manuals, and $70 bucks per for the power heated...
I ordered the powered heated ones, I just wont run heat, and i'll wire them in to work. Can't wait for them to come in!

Did you order the mounting brackets to help stabilize the mirrors? If not let me know and I can get you a link to order them of ebay. I highly recommend them.

I probably got the brackets from the same ebay link that you're thinking of...
That was the next thing I was looking for after I ordered the mirrors. I installed tow mirrors on my 01, when I had it, so I knew about needing the brackets, but I appreciate it!

IMO yes for the best possible mount and stabilization. You can mount them without but the shake is horrible, its like a rave in your mirror.

I purchased a set of electric heated towing mirrors from USA Auto Parts shipped to my door, 157.00, It came with the mount plates, You have to either turn the mount studs around@ leave them 3 turns out,or use other studs, they are .045" to short,other than that they work well,no shake

They were Kool Vue

Only the 2nd gens use the bracket...it looks like a big washer, and reinforces the mounting surface. The 2nd gen mirror bolt pattern is a lot smaller than the 3rd gen trucks...and the 3rd gens don't have this bracket, I found this out the hard way...I bought the brackets!

chadcycle 2500, did you buy them seperately? or as a package?

Also on every site i see them the driverside, no matter manual or power, they are double or even 3 times the price than the passenger side!? Why is this?
