Trail Ridge Tow mirrors and BLIS

[HawkX66]

I bought the Trail Ridge Mirrors for $238 for the pair (link below). They've gone up a little. Power, memory, heated, puddle. Manual folding/telescoping.
The manufacturer will tell you they won't work on a 2015-2017 Expy, but they fit and work perfectly with exception to the BLIS option. See pic below of my 17 Ex.

To the point of this post...
If you install a/m mirrors that aren't specifically for BLIS, you're going to get an error display and DTC. I suspect it's an easy work around to either install an LED or I might even wire in to one of the LEDs on the turn signal strip. I emailed them to see if I can just replace the mirrors. I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze for that. We'll see what they say.

Don't mind the fitment of the bumper in the pic. It's not adjusted yet.

These are the ones I bought. If you have BLIS, buy the ones in the next link, not these.

The following option wasn't available when I bought mine. These include the BLIS LED.
I'm not sure if there is a difference between these two parts. I think they're the same.

They look good and are on my list. I just really wish they had an amber light facing forward on the outside edge.

You can get Dorman Mirror Chrome caps (F150 version is exact fit) if you want them to be visible instead of sticking out all please-whack-me-stealthy

I might add them at some point. It's a relatively easy add on. They sell all kinds of different light strips etc. Maybe even something as simple as this, but I'd go with a better quality/looking one.

This one is a little pricey, but a lot nicer.

You’ll never catch me adding chrome to a vehicle I own.

Iron Bull. Their customer service sucks, but the bumper is nice once it finally arrives.

Thinking of getting a pair of these myself unless there is some other option that adds the power fold yet?

Did you ever add in the amber leds to the non mirror side yet and/or know of any that would fit easily/properly? The nicer one you linked earlier looks like its for under the mirror?
