Is the red wire necessary for the mirrors to fold ? My truck has power folding mirrors already. Only one side worked. After the install the folding won't work at all. I used the w/b wires only. That's what the vid said to do . Help?
I just ordered some tow mirrors with Power Fold, and the HO flood lights reverse + Cargo... what video do i go to to make the reverse + cargo work? or will doing the steps in the video work with that?
@@boostautoparts Thank you guys for being very responsive to new comments/questions on old videos/new videos.. it really helps people out alot! cant wait for my tow mirrors for my 18 LT
My 2014 Sierra 1500 already came with powered mirrors (turning arrow on glass) and was manufactured in January 2014. I have a set of two mirrors I just purchased that seem to be plug and play but from this video I need to ask If I will be needed the harness kit? Please advise
Also I have the small mirrors with no signals or anything. I want the switchbacks with heat but I don't need power folding. From what I understand I need the RZY kit and will want to modify my harness for the best result? I see hardworking might be simpler but more of a quick and easy fix and may not be as sturdy. Does that all sound correct? Thanks!
If you have totally manual mirrors on a diesel, there's a special connector for the temperature sensor in the RH mirror which differs from our connector. This only is relevant to totally manual mirrors (no power adjust). I'd recommend giving our sales team a call at 765-831-2830 for assistance.
Hey guys I just got a set of mirrors and don’t have a mirror plug behind my door card at all what steps need to be taken at get my mirror heat to work then I could do these steps to get the other features I want thanks
@@boostautoparts I have a 2015 Duramax 2500 as well and when I went to plug the wire into hole 41 I already had an existing wire there from factory. I tried putting my wire into the hole 41 with the other wire and my mirrors don't work. Where do I go from here?
I just purchased you mirrors and this video was well done and should mak3 for an easy installation. One question I have the two wires that you remove from pins 1 and 2 (and then cutoff) on the mirror connector and replace with the two wires from the installation kit. What do those wires currently go to and what are you disabling by removing them?
They're only used on the small standard mirrors - it's for the puddle light which towing mirrors don't have and for the auto-dim which isn't offered on towing mirrors either.
These are designed to function like OEM - therefore they will only work as cargo. If you want cargo & reverse, check this out: ruclips.net/video/RlEgVkQLhd0/видео.html
What pin is used on the mirror harness. I have stock tow mirrors without turn signal and I'm adding your switchback mirror lights so I don't know if the stock tow mirror will have the wire for the turn signal in the harness since it doesn't have a turn signal in the glass. That's why I'm hoping you can tell what kind of pin I need to buy so I can have one on hand in case my mirror harness doesn't have the turn signal wire I will add it myself. TIA.
Yes - you will need the modify door harness to get the running light and cargo light working. You'll also need the RZY harness if you have a 2014 or early 2015.
So I just followed this video exactly, hooked everything up and all turn signals and switchback lights work, however the cargo light on the front of the mirror does not work at all, any tips?
That would be an issue with the installation of the white wire from the modify kit. Give our support team a call at 765-831-2830 or email support@boostautoparts.com and we will get this resolved ASAP
@@boostautoparts my tow mirrors have the switchback leds blinker lights but only the blinker amber light works and not the running day light white light stay on and also the cargo lights on the mirrors doesn’t turn on at all. I do have the on the mirror blinker by the way, if I do this wiring mod my running day light will stay on abs the cargo lights will also work on reverse and it won’t effect my blinkers that do already work?
@@DrillSgtPain This will add running light and cargo. The rear facing lights are cargo by default, not reverse. You can do reverse/cargo after this if you're wanting that functionality. Give our team a call at 765-831-2830 with any questions.
So I just ordered the $69 wiring kit from you guys and a folding mirror button off of eBay, Know if I order mirrors that have power folding well everything work correctly?
@@Tylerfixit Yes - assuming you install our modify door harness kit and install the proper power folding switch and power folding mirrors all should work.
How about a link to the actual mirrors themselves! You're only selling half a product here link to the wiring is there but not to the mirrors themselves.
I have a 2018 Silverado 1500. I just have regular mirrors no heat or turn signal on them. Can I get these with the heat and running and turn signal and cargo lights to work on my Silverado
@@rogerjohnson4998 Not right now, but we do run sales from time to time! Email sales@boostautoparts.com and asked to be notified at the time of our next sale.
This kit adds the necessary wiring for towing mirrors (cargo, running, turn). Some vehicles originally have turn signal, but if you didn't originally have towing mirrors the cargo light and running light won't work regardless.

Will I need to buy any additional equipment if my sierra denali already has power folding mirrors? They're just not tow mirrors.
Yes - you will need the modify door harness to get the running light and cargo light working. You'll also need the RZY harness if you have a 2014 or early 2015.

What do you call the pins that go into the harness and on the wire ends?
Those are the specific terminals for the mating connectors and come pre-crimped on our harness.
Hey guys :) how do I find out if I have an early or late 2015 silverado 1500?
It's based on your build date. Email your VIN to sales@boostautoparts.com and our team can let you know.
Do this mirrors have auto dimming?
No towing mirrors (including OEM) come with auto dim.
Went to add my door harness and all the slots are filled already but my running lights do not work
Sounds like you need to watch the other video linked below.

Would the side rear facing lights on the mirrors work with the cargo lamp button or when you put the truck in reverse
GM designed them to operate as cargo lights - however we do also offer a modification to have them work as cargo and reverse.
Where do I find this modification?? I perfer them as reverse lights
What about on the 2014 and the hardwire option do you have a video on that?
Email support@boostautoparts.com for assistance

@@boostautoparts ok got it thank you👍
I only need two wires as Iam adding signals. Do you have just a two wire kit?

@@Tylerfixit Yes - assuming you install our modify door harness kit and install the proper power folding switch and power folding mirrors all should work.
Has anyone removed the fourth mirror bolt since your truck doesn't have the fourth hole??
You can unthread the fourth bolt (it's simply threaded into the base), but we don't recommend it as it will cause additional vibration.
Will this work to upgrade from DL8 to DL3 mirrors with turn signal, heat and puddle lights?
No - we have a separate video for that. Check that out here:ruclips.net/video/xR4HTRmNGDc/видео.html

This kit adds the necessary wiring for towing mirrors (cargo, running, turn). Some vehicles originally have turn signal, but if you didn't originally have towing mirrors the cargo light and running light won't work regardless.
