Default Side Mirrors

where ever you got your information from is wrong, my 2002 SLT+ came with the large 6x9 folding, power, heated tow mirrors from the factory, the styling changed from the 98-00 models, but they do exist, and yes the mounting brakets are the same, the worst you would have to do is make your own wiring harness

I recently replaced mine with the folding dumbo ears. The wiring harness on the dumbos are bigger and wiring colors were off. But I managed to rewire the harness by cutting off the old harness and soldering the like-colored wires together. I don't recall the colors ofhand but if you can take a pic of the wires, I can tell you how they should be wired. Yes, I have the power mirrors too, and they work! LOL!

buying the dumbo mirror new or used can be expensive.. I would only do this if i were getting them from a scrap yard... if you were getting them from a scrap yard i would try to salvage as much of the wiring as possible.. The plastic connectors and possibly the wiring all the way to the switch on the dash..

Neglected to mention I got the dumbos from a member of another D site. Bought and shipped for $50.00. They came with the whole harness, even the nuts and neoprene gasket!
