I just might have to do this. One quick question for another mirror project. Does the mirror head, not just the glass, separate from the mirror arm? I'm going to route cables for a side video cam through the arm. Thanks.Thanks.
It ain’t for everyone but anytime I mod the black sheep of Ford’s SUVs I always want to share, maybe someone else will get inspired and build up from what I’ve done.
That's a very nice modification. One thing I've wondered about doing is changing out the blind spot monitor LED with a much brighter one. I can easily see the one in my wife's Toyota Avalon in my periphery, but my 2017 Expedition I have to be looking in that general direction. Looks like from the one photo of the rear side of the mirror you can just pull it out.
My biggest problem in creating this type of thing is in finding quality parts. I can spend hours on a project like this only to be burned by some cheap ebay Chinese part that fails in a month.
it does to a certain extent, You will have to fish the Cam wires thru the same space the other OEM wires are passing through. That's what I did when I added my blindspot wires. Taped the wires to a wire hanger with electrical tape, added a little bit of dielectric grease to help with any friction or resistance when pushing through that tunnel (for lack of better terms)I just might have to do this.

Stupid question: how did you take the mirror apart to do this?
