Aftermarket towing mirrors

I just put these mirrors on for towing my camper. I definitely like the fact that they flip out for towing then tuck back in when not needed. The original mirrors were only power adjustable, the new ones are heated and they have integrated turn signal. It was plug and play for the power mirror. I'm assuming the two seperate wires are for the heated part of the mirror and for the turn signals. I believe it pulls the common from the main plug harness. My question is has anyone else installed something similar and if so where did they tap their power from?

 

There isn't any wiring in the doors for the turn signals on 07, the side mirror turn signal option wasn't available until 2012.

Connector 1D Pin 4 (Blue/Yellow) (Right) and Pin 11 (Blue/Black) (Left) on the Drivers Side Junction Box probably the best spot to grab the turn signals.
You would need to run your own switch and power for the heaters as that was never an option on 2nd gens.

 

Thanks for the information!
Looks like tapping into the turn signal circuit should be pretty simple. I'll have to try and think of where I would want a switch on the dash for the heated mirrors. Unfortunately no information came with the mirror so I don't know how much current the heated mirrors.
Do you have a suggestion where I should tap in for that?

I generally don't recommend adding anything to any factory circuits that would pull more than 3 amps, I would run a dedicated fused power wire from the battery or stud in the underhood fuse box to a relay and then use a switched ignition source through a switch to turn the relay on.

 

thank you!

 

Where did you get these?

 

Ebay

 

Are these the Trail Ridge tow mirrors? Your pictures look better then when I installed the Trail Ridge on mine. Seemed too big.

 

Not sure if the brand I got these from eBay

 

Thank you!

 

I was looking at aftermarket mirrors for a while but could never find any that are pre-glossed so I just painted my oem ones. Only because the paint was very worn out on my driver one so it’s a nice little refresh

Love the door handle stickers

 

stock are nice but I need something that would reach out wider for pulling my travel trailer.

 

i had these before i went back to stock mirrors. they vibrated too much because how long they extend width wise. i ended up using add-on towing mirrors. just my experience, maybe they will work better for you.

 

so far they a working well. I really only use the truck for hauling wood or camping. my daily driver is a Honda Accord. at $ 117 for the aftermarket mirrors can't complain.

 

I got the AKKON - Fit 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma [LED Turn Signal] Power Glass Heated Extendable Towing Black Mirror Pair Puddle Lamp

They vibrate some, but I wired the turn signals into the upper mirrors and I think they work very well. Haven't tried the heaters yet, but they are wired for them.

 

When I click the link it shows these won't fit the Tacoma???
But then again it's going directly to what will fit my 2007 Tacoma.
