Lightbulb 87-96 Aftermarket Side Mirrors?

A user from Australia put these on his Dakota but does not remember what they came off of, has anyone done anything similar? Any ideas what might fit? If I'm going to do it I want something with a turn signal in the mirror, I might be able to get away with no turn signals in the grill just in the mirrors:

Wow! Sorry but just my opinion, I do not think they look good at all. Especially on a square bodied vehicle.
You could try to take like a 6x9 and cut a turn signal into it. Signals are thin and the 6x9 should have lots of room behind the mirror since it doesnt adjust. Not too sure about the smaller ones though

Mine might be tight they are the plastic 6x9 with a mechanical remote but that's a thought.

Street scene makes a set of mirrors for the newer Dakota and the ram. I heard the ram mirrors will work on that body style.

Can't agree more. A truck is a truck, it becomes useless once lowered. Can't even haul a fridge without bottoming out on a speed bump.

I will never lower her, stock height maybe a tad bit higher just with a beefy suspension and wide wheelbase since it's RWD only. Plus to maintain the sports truck ride I can't go too high

I am currently running a set of black mirrors from a 98 Ram on my 93 Dak, like the look, plan on finding a way to get the heaters working soon, hopefully before it sees snow. Mounted right up.
