Tow Mirror install on 07 Ram 2500

All, I want to change my stock heated/power mirrors to the heated/power tow mirrors. Is this is a simple install? Any info would be appreciated. Has anyone gone through this dealer? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...mZ250376642041

Very easy job.Take door panel off. 4 phillips head screws and one torx screw for the door handle. I think it is a 20. Lift the door panel straight up. Three 10mm nuts hold the mirror on. disconnect wires. Then put the new stuff on.
Less than 20 minutes for both to install

I can only recommend going OEM. I picked up a pair of aftermarket tow mirrors like the ones listed and they shook so bad I took them off after a week. I could barely see out of them. My buddy has the factory installed tow mirrors and they don't shake much at all.

These look pretty sweet, but a little more $$$

If you have a Laramie, you don't need to take off the door panel.

UPDATE I bought the mirrors from epartpal on ebay and they look the same. I installed them and they were a breeze. The glass does not seem to be the same quality as the mopar. What I mean is that it seems to be a little more flimsy than the mopar tow mirrors that I had on my 04 2500. The mirrors when flipped out to towing mode, also do not rotate inward as wel as the mopar mirrors. Will they do the job? Yes. Are they as good as the Mopar product? Heck no. But they are close and a lot cheaper. Only time will tell how they do but they are better than the little power mirrors than came on my 07 Cummins 2500 (which I still do not understand why tow mirrors are not standard on 2500's anyway). There is my miny review for those considering the epartpal product on ebay.
