mirror swap

[Buttz]

I got a pair of towing mirrors for Christmas and was wondering if anyone had swap mirrors out before on theirs, or know how difficult it is to take the door panels off? Thank you

No towing mirrors here, but the door panels are surprisingly very easy to remove. Watch a youtube video or two and you'll be a pro:

I have seen a few Gen 2 trucks with aftermarket telescoping tow mirrors installed, so you might find some reference material in that forum section.

very easy to remove the mirrors...remove the screws along the door and there are 2 in the center...lift the door off...the mirror screws are in the corner under the protective foam...peel that back and u will need a socket to remove them...don't remember what size...there are 3 nuts to take off...

since there isnt a signature with the information of ur truck and u didn't identify ur vehicle u may or may need to disconnect lights or power functions

Thanks it's was a pretty simple swap! Only issue is my new mirrors have turns signals in the we're my old ones didnt. Any chance anyone on here know what wires I'll need to splice into to make them work?

If I remember correctly I think they are wired in to your turn signal but like 10k said need vehicle info to guide you in the right direction

You still didn't tell us what year/trim your Expedition is. Actually, you didn't even say it was an Expedition (some Nav owners here also).

There is a connector (C202) behind the steering column for the turn signals, but I'm not sure how easy it is to access.
