I would find a truck in the boneyard and cut the plugs off the doors.Then splice onto your truck harness,use meter or shop manual to identify function of wires on your truck.Time consuming but not a hack job.

Putting my Kool-Vues on tonight

DMR-DG49ELR*2 Looking to upgrade your truck with heavy duty towing mirrors? We have just what you need... KOOL-VUE was the 1st to introduce original equipment replacement mirrors in 1994. Kool-Vue is dedicated to providing only the highest quality OEM replacement mirrors available. Our towing mirrors are high quality "aftermarket replacements" which FIT & LOOK EXACTLY LIKE OEM TOWING MIRRORS. Available in folding/telescopic and power/heated or non-power/heated models. We can save you hundreds off the dealer list price!

INSTALLATION: Simple remove your existing door mirrors and install the towing mirrors - Plug-n-play installation with no modifications needed.

guess you do have to mod them to work...

X2 this way if you wish to add the heat function at a later date it would be a breeze. the plug on the mirrors fits 98 -02, got mine on last week, they are great. hardest part was popping the door panel, a few new christmas trees for 30 cents each and It's all good.

I stated earlier that the plugs only fit the 98.5 - 2002 2nd gens. There was a guy on here selling the crossover plug a couple years back, but his tag escapes me. I think I wrote it down somewhere, I'll have to look for it.

Go here to see the wireing for a 94-96 there is 2 pages.

http://www.elektro.com/charlie/dodge/mirrors/

These are Kool Vue's

I am still not sure if I want to hunt up the parts just to have the elec. mirrors. Maybe. I would have to find a switch and crossover plugs to make them fit.

Put my Kool-Vues on Sat.night,took an hour or so.What a difference!
Every 2nd gen should have these mirrors.Exact replicas of 3rd gen.it should be a crime.

Hmmmmm, power mirrors a little inconvenience on install, asking wife or girlfriend to adjust passenger mirror for the rest of trucks life...... big inconvenience. hope this helps sway your decision!

I just picked up a set of power kool-vue mirrors off ebay for $232.85 with free shipping form discountautoparts. I even got back $18 by using bing.com to search form them! What a deal!
