    I know that there is probably a thread on this but I am new to the site and I don't see a search function. I bought a 2011 reg cab 4 x 4 and would like to change a couple things.

    I would like to add the fog lights. Any recommendations on a full kit including the lights, wiring and rocker switches.
    I would like to change the manual mirrors to electric mirrors. Can this be done? It almost appears that the wiring for these go from the truck into the door.

    Appreciate any advice or links to threads that have already addressed this.

    I found the search function as well as a great thread for the lights. Still looking for the ability to convert mirrors from manual to electric.

    I've never seen a writeup on it, do you know if a regular cab could be factory ordered with the power mirrors? Part of the SR5 package maybe? If it was an option, the wiring is probably there. Even if it's not, you should be able to get the mirrors and the switch from the dealer, or possibly aftermarket sources, the plug that goes into the switch from a junkyard, and wire the rest of it up yourself.

    If it's not a factory option on the regular cab, check the part numbers for non power mirrors on an Access cab. I would bet the numbers are the same. As long as the manual mirror numbers are the same, the power mirrors for the Access cab should bolt up. Then you just have to wire it. It will take a little time, but it should be relatively simple, two twelve volt motors.
