There was a guy about a week or two ago on either here or DT I can't remember that got the tow mirrors with signals and they had vibration issues as well. Apparently aftermarket companies dont use the same mounts that dodge or mopar does for the mirrors that makes them not vibrate

Why would you ask which ones are the best and then go with the worst? We know the costs suck but its worth it for your safety. How are you going see any cars behind you when your mirrors are violently shaking and you can't see sh*t just a blur? We aren't trying to bust your ***** or your wallet we're trying to look out for your welfare and the welfare of others on the road with you. You're going to be disappointed with the ebay mirrors unless they are MOPAR and just waste money. You get what you pay for.

Did you check out rockauto?

Ive bought acouple different ones for different vehicles and they have always seem to be as good as quality as my oem one.

Not to say its the same for the dodge towing mirrors but for everything else the TYC brand from rockauto I have been very pleased with for the money.

EDIT: I just looked and you cant get the TYC part number for those particular mirrors, only the non towing style. But the prices for the towing with heat and power on rockauto are around $110 a piece.

I have the cheaper ones on eBay and it's not nearly as bad as your making it sound...it's definitely not a safety issue haha

If there sh@t ill take them off and sell them its not a big deal. I hardly ever tow anything but a toy hauler maybe 5 times a year so there not really needed I just like the look more then anything. I was more asking about the ebay ones then the mopar ones cause of course there the best but I wont use them enough to justify spending 400+, much rather spend my money else where. Plus ive had 3 or 4 people say there not that bad just in this thread
