Should be just plug and play.


I did the same thing on my Dads 02 truck. It was plug and play. With the exception of the Bluetec system, we are progressing technologically. I cannot even think that it would require you to splice any wiring. But, before you go and spend a bunch of money, pull the driver side door panel and take a peek.

Blake is there a easy way to get that mirror signal light to act as a running light? Thanks in advance.

My 2011 2500 didn't come with tow mirrors but I had the dealer put them on (chrome with blinkers) and the blinkers wont work per Ram and the dealer.

The chrome ones will have the blinkers only. I asked Ram to let the dealer hard wire them and they said no. It's a joke! Ram said they wont never work. Good luck

Well that there wouldnt be an easy mod as in just plug and play. But it could be done. I havent had my new mirrors off yet, and Im not familiar with the wiring offhand. Im certain it can be done, just may involve a good bit of custom work, IE, completely rewiring the blinker off of a relay from the running lights and shooting that power over to the lights in the mirror.
