2014/15+ HD PowerFold OEM Tow Mirrors (The Ones We've Been Waiting

[jaymiles007]

Definitely a good idea to look into, since my truck didn't come with any power options on the mirror besides adjust and defrost I had to hardwire everything and add a switch for the powerfold, I probably could have done like some and replace a bunch of harnesses and switches but i didn't, just now I have the clearance lights as blinkers but want them to be both, I ordered the conversion kit I saw on YouTube were they took the whole mirror apart to install it but I'm not going to do that, I'm just going to install it under the dash were I made all my other connections.

Yea, my truck came with the plain and simple mirrors too, I went through pgamboa and his harness to complete the conversion to the tow mirrors. Although, I didn't go with the powerfold. I did have to hardwire the clearance and the reverse/cargo lamp though. But now I have the clearance lights on the ACC circuit and dome light circuit along with the blinker mod so they flash with the blinkers.

Nice idea! So you tied your clearance lamp to the ACC circuit.

 

Then a diode from the dome lamp circuit to your tap (diode stripe facing the tap)?

 

I like that. Key in the ACC position and clearance lights are on. ACC off and you can turn clearance lights on with the dome lamp switch.

Yea, so I have a diode off of the ACC and the Dome so one doesn't feed the other. I believe the stripe faces away from the tap so the current can't go back towards the tapped circuits. So once I unlock the truck, my clearance lights come on as the dome lights are triggered, and they stay on until you shut the door or lock the truck again. Then once you turn the key they are on until the key is off AND the driver door is opened. At which point the dome lights would come back on. All seems to work really well for my liking!
