Hey there! On one of your other videos you installed a remote for power (I think) while the system was turned off. Could you point me to that video or maybe the info for that priority remote switch?
Nice install. Like how you did your video. I just hate the look of the moose antler mirrors. Wish they had a size in between just a bit larger then the stock mirrors.
Hey Don, I recently discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love your content. I recently purchased a 2018 GMC Denali truck and getting some great ideas from you on mods I want to add. Thanks for all the great content!
Nice! I did the same thing from Boost Auto Parts for my 2017 Silverado I already had the tow mirrors installed by the dealer with a new harness and cameras. I lost the cams when I bought the new mirrors from Boost Auto with the folding option but I lost that, anyway, when I installed the T-Style radio from Linkswell. It was plug and play for me with the folding option, just a new switch in the driver door arm rest where the mirror adjustments are. I, also, bought a harness adapter from HarnessDR to allow the turn signal ability (plug and play, too) I find I use the folding option more than I ever thought I would. Love the vid! :)
Excellent Excellent video! We are getting a 2023 GMC 1500 sierra SLT. Now when we originally placed our order they told us we could not get those mirrors (we were at a loss). But when we moved into production they told we could! We have visited Boost Auto Parts and we plan on doing the cargo lighting. Agree with you 💯 on their new products they are constantly updating. But really enjoy watching someone else's installation. Their installation on those mirrors is pretty detailed, which is great! Enjoyed the walk thru demonstration on how the product preforms, 👌 😀. Its what keeps us comming back. Thank you, ✌️out.
Happy to help. I try to make my videos good demonstrations on various products. They Re intended to help people decide if they are projects or add-ons that they may want.
I can’t wait till Boost figures out how to deal with the cameras on the GMC’s. I have always liked having tow mirrors on a truck. I don’t know why the factory don’t install them on half ton trucks.
Excellent install and review video👍🏼 Just bought a new GMC HD with similar mirrors on it. Wish the back up lights would come on when in reverse, versus needing to manually hit the bed light switch
I like the stock mirrors on the 1500’s I do wish mine had the turn signal in the glass like gm used to do, but on the 2019-2022 Silverado and Sierra 1500’s that was not an option. I have the blind spot monitoring, the puddle lamps, front work lights, heated and power fold on my Sierra.
Hey there Don, I need them to make a set of tow mirrors for my 2021 Chevy Tahoe High Country for when I'm towing my 24' car trailer. All I can find so far are some universal strap on mirrors that are a pain in the ass to put on each time and I also have to add some small string so they don't fly off while driving! Love your channel and all the car stuff! This spring I will be building a large (54x112x16) shop/man cave to store and work on classic cars. It's taken a few years to find the perfect lot and builder! Take care and happy holidays to you and your family!
As always, awesome video. Your patience, skills and nerve to tackle some of these projects as a DYI'er are way above mine. Would love to add the tow mirrors on my 20211500 SLT, but all that teardown, and electrical modification makes me want to go buy a 2023 with them installed. Alas, my 2021 was $56K (with 7 year warranty), the 2023 is $67K (with 3 year warranty)😱
Can I just bring you my 2019 LT Trail Boss and let you go wild? I wish I had the tools and space to work on my truck. Definitely added these mirrors to my list of have to do.
Did your stock mirrors have blind spot detection ? I’m wanting to do the same but gm says because of blind spot detection they don’t match and they can’t say for sure it’ll work properly
If you want those wiring harnesses to look minty fresh, you should use some Tesa tape when you tape them back up. I feel like electrical tape always gets a bit goopy over the years. I don't think it's too expensive on Amazon and I keep some handy in the house. Edit: P/N 51036 is the one that works best for everything I've done so far
I’d love to see a video of you wrapping the tail lights in the vivid tint on that silverado. I’m wanting to do mine but kinda hesitant on how to do it with that big recess on the sides
Love your content. I am wanting to do the install, the only question I have is - my Trail Boss doesn’t have blind spot monitoring on the OEM mirrors. I would like to have that as a feature on the new tow mirrors. Is that possible?
Those look like the OE mirrors that came on my 2020 Trail Boss LT from the factory. Is Boost the OE supplier? FYI, the factory tow mirrors are tough as hell. A few months ago I was cutoff by an early 90s Silverado that decided to jump in my lane as I was passing. I was able to escape right and avoid body damage, but one of my mirrors came in contact with his glass and metal mirror. I destroyed his mirror while mine just received a few tiny marks on it. Dude admitted he was wrong and paid cash for a new mirror on the spot (I used the GM Parts Direct website for pricing). I pocketed the cash since the mirror damage is barely noticeable.
These mirrors are great! Factory sized mirrors are really small. A bigger mirror really allows better vision and a safer ride. Pulling them in in a parking lot is also an added benefit. Seems like an easy install although involved. Thx for bringing this product to our attention.
Switchback - runs one color (white drl) most of the time but changes to another color (amber signal) until it switches back. Sequential means it is an animates sequence of lighting instead of a boring blink. Imagine 10 bulbs in a row lighting up in order but a millisecond after each other vs all at the exact same time
I really like like the end result. I've been trying to change out the mirrors on my 2023 chevy silverado and everywhere I go they say it's not possible. Any suggestions?
I keep hearing you say compatibility with all the options, What if I have a 2019 Silverado w nothing on the mirrors? Standard mirrors Am I able to add anything or am I stuck w just the glass lol. Ex I want power fold and rear lights, sequential, and heated mirrors. Is that even possible or am I wasting time?
Boost Auto has a separate harness to purchase if you want. All the parts I uses were from Boost Auto, it just comes down to which options you spec yours with
HEY BRO I WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS, CAN YOU TELL ME IF I CAN PUT MORE MODERN MIRRORS ON MY 2021 SILVERADO 1500 CUSTOM TRUCK SINCE THEY COME WITH THE MOST BASIC ONES AND I WANT TO PUT THE ONES THAT HAVE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS ON THEM?
Thanks for watching! They will mount but each feature relies on systems/provisions the truck was originally equipped with. For example, you can’t add mirror cameras if the truck wasn’t already equipped. Bummer I know
@@Donslife I UNDERSTAND BUT THE OTHER FUNCTIONS LIKE HEAT PUDDLE LAMP ARROW TURN SIGNAL ARE NOT GOING TO WORK EITHER? OR WOULD I NEED SOME ADDITIONAL WIRING?
I don’t think those features will have wiring to tap into at the mounting location. You could run extra wires to the systems you want. For example, tap into to defrost circuit to enable heated mirrors when you push the rear defrost button. I don’t know if it would be worth the effort. Turn signals would be the easiest thing to run wires for
May be an asinine question, but is it absolutely necessary to take off both door panels when installing a base set of tow mirrors with just the sequential feature added? No power folding, etc. etc.
i have a dumb question before i order these lol. I noticed your daytime shots the amber lights didnt stay on but at night when you pulled into the driveway they were on. Reason Im asking is im not sure if i want to do the switchback or not. Thanks in advance and awesome video
Thank you for watching! I don’t have the truck in my possession since it belongs to a friend. I don’t recall when the ignition was on or off during the day for those shots. Please contact BoostAutoParts to get confirmation on how you want your set to function before ordering.
Pretty awesome, I want to upgrade mine as wel… just out of curiosity, did his cargo lamp go out when you installed or did he bring it to you like that. I just want to make sure I won’t lose the functionality of the cargo lamp.
Could I just do jump the body control harness black and grey modules to just get the Cargo lamps to Work instead of messing with the three wires thru the door panel?
my answer is maybe, but if there is some BCM voltage monitoring going on, you may get a non-critical error message. Running the wires is a pain, but once it is done, its done.
Hey Don! New sub here! I recently became a chevy owner just a few weeks ago I bought a 2020 Silverado 1500 ltz Z71 texas edition. My question is do you have any videos on replacing the rear view mirror? Mine is the one that turns into a screen? Lol don’t know what its called. Anyways the little clip or swith you turn on with is broke! How can i fix or replace it? Thanks! Any links on where I can buy one?
Oh man. I don’t have any videos replacing one. But you might want to reach out to infotainment.com They fix some of these types of items and might be able to sell you the parts or advise you on where to get them.
Hi, I have the real deal 2022, Silverado, 3.0 Duramax diesel, 6 1/2' bed, crew cab, 1500, with non towing mirrors with the cameras and all. Do you know when the model with the camera option will be available? I tow a travel trailer. Too bad these mirrors are not also available with 3/8X24 thread twin trucker antenna mounts.
@@Donslife Do you have a relationship with anybody at boost that you can reach out to see if they might have an idea of when they might be coming out with a set of mirrors that will work with the cameras. Also I have a great idea, they should make a dash cam that would interface with all the cameras and the microphone for the speaker phone.
@@Donslife The way I figure it, the cameras are already there 360 degrees and the microphones are already there, front, rear sides and for incidents like traffic crashes and traffic stops it might also capture the audio. It seems like a no brainer.
@@Donslife If someone did make a multi camera 360 degree dashcam module with audio, it would be an incredible super clean set up since the cameras and microphones are all factory OE installed.
Hey ! I am looking to do the same upgrade on my 2020 3.0 , when I call gm they tell me because I have blind spot indicators on my mirrors that the new tow mirrors don’t match . Did you run into this problem ? I’m wondering if I can still use them properly
Since the cameras aren’t able to be transferred over from the old mirrors to the new mirrors you would give up that feature as well as any side camera ability. They are working on it, but they want it to align or at least be able to be calibrated by the owner during the installation
Ok thank you ! I’m ok with giving up that feature , but what my concern was and GMs that it was going to give me dash lights or the other features may not work properly . I’m not sure what to do !! I’m not in a rush to get them but I’m pretty sure I want them !
Random - do you find these mirrors to be a blind spot when driving? They look to be a lot higher in the window area than the original ones, and it seems like it would block vision. Thanks again for all of the videos!
Yes, they can be a blind spot issue. One has to take a little more care when pulling out of an intersection but they are great for rear visibility and rear blind spots.
Thus guy is mcgyver 😂 bruh ain’t no way! I’m trying to do the Math on how much I’ll have to pay for installation. After watching this I’m scared to know the price of labor 😂
So basically for Custom Trail Boss only that don't have any upgrades to factory mirrors and NOT LT's.. 👎 Disappointed. One day maybe they will have a plug and play solution for tow mirrors for the LT Trail Boss..
@@stephansmithoutdoors There's no need for a flash with our mirrors. Any lighting feature you originally had would be plug and play. If you wanted to add features not originally equipped (running light, turn signal, rear cargo light) then you'd need to do our wiring - but if you're not concerned about gaining the lighting features you can just plug in and be done.
This one I don't like.. Unless you need them for trailering, they create a huge blind spot and they look like giant ugly blocks. I would not put them on my AT4.
Ha there’s a reason half tons don’t come with towing mirrors. Mainly it’s not meant to tow. Buy an Hd which comes with these and is meant for towing lol
I think hundreds of thousands of people might disagree with that statement since most half tons can tow over 7000lbs safely. Not everyone is towing skid steer loaders, 5th wheels and loaded horse trailers. Also, the major brands do offer tow mirrors as an option during the build, including these trucks. If some people feel better having better rear visibility for their load, nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Please let us know when you post a youtube video on why half tons are not meant to tow. I would be curious to read those comments.
I have a new body Ram and not a Chevy, but I love watching Dan’s videos for entertainment and some inspiration for my own truck. I have the new V6 eco torque engine in my Ram 1500 and like Dan said, I can still tow almost 7,800lbs in addition to the bed payload.
@@Donslife I think you did a fantastic job on the video and i agree some people will want to know all about them and their features, I personally am just not a fan of the moose antler mirrors.

Id paint those like a piano black like the bottom of the front grille
Nice 👍
Do they extend as well? I have tow mirrors on my 15 Silverado and i can extend them even further for a wide trailer
Okay this is something I want to do can you explain what switch back vs sequential difference is in all the different lighting packages pleaseeeee
Switchback - runs one color (white drl) most of the time but changes to another color (amber signal) until it switches back.
Sequential means it is an animates sequence of lighting instead of a boring blink. Imagine 10 bulbs in a row lighting up in order but a millisecond after each other vs all at the exact same time
@@Donslife ah okay thank you I almost made a mistake. They are pricy but looks awesome and having cheat codes for the buttons is cool.
@jeremywilliams8501 I recall they had definitions for each feature on the website
QUESTION CAN YOU PROGRAM TO FOLD WHEN YOU LOCK THE DOOR??
You’ve def never worked on vehicles before 😂 very clean nice work!
Is that a jab or a compliment?
Alot of the day driving had the spotlights on is that because it hadn't timed out?
20 minute auto time out. Unless you push the button manually to shut off
Alright can you do my truck next? I have a ‘21 trail boss and want this so bad.
I really like like the end result. I've been trying to change out the mirrors on my 2023 chevy silverado and everywhere I go they say it's not possible. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Doesn’t BoostAutoParts have something compatible?
Did the wire harness for the reverse lights came with the whole tow mirror set up? Or did you buy it separately. The last step
Everything for all options are provided by Boost Auto. I didn’t buy any special wiring.
I keep hearing you say compatibility with all the options, What if I have a 2019 Silverado w nothing on the mirrors? Standard mirrors Am I able to add anything or am I stuck w just the glass lol. Ex I want power fold and rear lights, sequential, and heated mirrors. Is that even possible or am I wasting time?
Their website will help guide you. There were too many configurations for me to cover them all in a video.
For the lights to turn on when you put it in reverse, you bought that harness separate ?
Boost Auto has a separate harness to purchase if you want. All the parts I uses were from Boost Auto, it just comes down to which options you spec yours with

May be an asinine question, but is it absolutely necessary to take off both door panels when installing a base set of tow mirrors with just the sequential feature added? No power folding, etc. etc.
Just to get to the mirror mounts requires taking off the door panels

If you wanted to add features not originally equipped (running light, turn signal, rear cargo light) then you'd need to do our wiring - but if you're not concerned about gaining the lighting features you can just plug in and be done.
@@boostautoparts Thank you for your time in explaining that..
@boostautoparts have you guys come up with a solution for the 360 camera yet? Or still working on it? Thanks
Come on now..... as much as these cost. Why don't they have the plug & play feature.........smdh.......
Probably due to the extra options you can add that you may not have had from the beginning
Buy a 2500 or a one ton if you need tow mirrors
You lost me at extra wiring
It happens 😂
This one I don't like.. Unless you need them for trailering, they create a huge blind spot and they look like giant ugly blocks. I would not put them on my AT4.
I didn’t. I installed them on a long box Trailboss
Ha there’s a reason half tons don’t come with towing mirrors. Mainly it’s not meant to tow. Buy an Hd which comes with these and is meant for towing lol
I think hundreds of thousands of people might disagree with that statement since most half tons can tow over 7000lbs safely. Not everyone is towing skid steer loaders, 5th wheels and loaded horse trailers. Also, the major brands do offer tow mirrors as an option during the build, including these trucks. If some people feel better having better rear visibility for their load, nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Please let us know when you post a youtube video on why half tons are not meant to tow. I would be curious to read those comments.
I have a new body Ram and not a Chevy, but I love watching Dan’s videos for entertainment and some inspiration for my own truck. I have the new V6 eco torque engine in my Ram 1500 and like Dan said, I can still tow almost 7,800lbs in addition to the bed payload.
Idk if you knew, but a half ton is capable of towing. You must not be well informed.
Gross, Those mirrors are hideous. To each their own i guess.
It’s all about knowing your options
@@Donslife I think you did a fantastic job on the video and i agree some people will want to know all about them and their features, I personally am just not a fan of the moose antler mirrors.
Looks horrible
I will never understand putting HD mirrors on a 1500. Just get a 2500/3500
