ok i drive a 02 dak and hav the stupid non-folding mirrors, i was wondering if the folding mirrors from the previous models would bolt up fine to the location mine are at
thanks

 

that's what I did...all the wiring harnesses are there, too. I used to have the manual non-folding 5x7s, and I got the electric, folding 6x9s, and the switch off of ebay.

 

I dont know why they made them that way but in a way they make the truck look sleek. If I do break one they have them all over ebay for like 30.00

 

they thought they would just make the mirrors that way so they just break instead. and they get to sell new ones. its all about job security...

 

yea they made the smaller ones cuz it's smaller. the 6x9 folding ones are technically towing mirrors....which imo should be stock regardless since well...it is a truck.

 

rakaric, how did u wire up the switch and where did u put it for the electrics and where did u put it, i hav manual windows and locks and for some reason the manual mirrors dont hav the little stick thing to move the mirror around do all daks hav that

 

behind the door panel, there will be 3 wire harnesses with separate clips on the driver's side, and 2 on the passenger side. 1 is for heated, 1 for motion, and the 3rd for the switch. I had to buy the switch since my truck didn't come with it.

 

oh so the wiring harness stuff is already in the doors just nothing is hooked up to them, thats simple, almost to simple to make any sense lol

 

Do the 6x9's provide a better viewing angle? I've been looking a "towing" mirror of sorts, but I don;t want them to look like I stole them off a 3500, cause that'll just look stupid.

I have Power mirrors already but they are the non-folding kind. The "sleek" ones. The 6x9's bolt right up your saying then right? I think I'm gonna have to get myself some.

 

i wanna getem cause i think the sleek ones look dumb and they serve no purpose, the folding are what is supposed to be on a truck, jeeze even a civic has folding mirrors lol
