hey guys, i have an 08 lmm with power/heated mirrors and no turn signals. I found koolvue CV41ELRtow mirrors for much less than OEM mirrors and having read around they seem to be a good product, although ill take more comments on this! Well like i said i have power/heated mirrors with no turn signal and im getting the koolvues with power/heat and no turn signal so they should be plug and play like they say?? although ive heard a few cases where they werent but maybe that was due to wrong parts or something. But ive heard some people say all they had to do was take the triangle piece off door to install them and plug in the connection, and some people say they have to plug in the plug by the window controls and removing the door panel must be done. I just took a peek at mine and pulled the triangle piece and it appears the wire goes down the door and ill have to remove the panel? why is this? any comments on this? and do the mirrors come with enough wire to reach the window controls cause according to the pic of them on their site the wire coming from mirror is short.

thanks guys.

or is the connection on the outside of the truck meaning id have to unbolt the mirror to see the connector?

You will need to remove the door panel. I have the same mirrors and they're nice.

This will help you out on the installation, but don't know on the plug and play part.

I don't have the heated option on my truck, so obviously that doesn't work, but it was all plug and play.
