You have the best how to videos. I did it and it works like a charm. Thanks

[@boostautoparts]

Glad we could help!

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

[@boostautoparts]

You do need the kit otherwise the running light and cargo light will not work properly

[@robertobryan6553]

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?

[@boostautoparts]

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.

[@zachjstout]

Great video! I did everything to find out my tow mirror lights don’t work

[@boostautoparts]

Reach out to our support team at [e-mail] and they can figure out what's going on for you!

[@REDDELECTRIC]

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?

Awesome - we are here to help!@@REDDELECTRIC

[@MTBSHOGUN]

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?

[@boostautoparts]

No it's not. Sounds like something went wrong with install - give our team a call at 765-831-2830 for assistance and we will get this resolved ASAP!

@@boostautoparts sounds good are you guys open right now?

[@boostautoparts]

We are - give us a call.@@MTBSHOGUN

[@jbaustin1962]

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!

[@boostautoparts]

Yes - give our team a call to discuss 765-831-2830

[@terryclardyjr1849]

I have a 2017 2500 duramax work truck with manual mirrors. Will these mirrors and hard wire kit still work

[@boostautoparts]

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.

[@noahlovelady6326]

I accidentally put the red with blue wire im the 12 spot instead of the 13 how do I remove it or can I or does it make a difference?

[@boostautoparts]

It certainly makes a difference - please call our support team at 765-831-2830 for assistance.

[@chrisveldhuis652]

I drilled out the hole for the forth stud on my 17 1500 is that the correct way?

[@boostautoparts]

Yes - the fourth stud on the towing mirrors is for added stability.

[@Logan874]

Will this work on a late 2015 duramax 2500? I want to upgrade from small to towing mirrors

[@boostautoparts]

Yes it will!

[@modoc852]

If the amber lights are supposed to be blinker lights why can’t you wire the blue wire to the orange/ yellow tracer wire?

[@boostautoparts]

Sorry - not exactly understanding your question. Please give our team a call at 765-831-2830 and we can assist.

[@robertvaldes9436]

Hi, how do I wire the reverse lights. Not the cargo lights???

[@boostautoparts]

These are designed to function like OEM - therefore they will only work as cargo. If you want cargo & reverse, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2omImhhrGbmpI

[@bigron1985]

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.

[@boostautoparts]

Please reach out to our support team for guidance at 765-831-2830 or [e-mail]

Can anyone tell me how my driver side has turn signal and wire for flood light in the plug but not passenger??? I am stumped.

[@boostautoparts]

Give our team a call at 765-831-2830

[@aaipups]

Will I need to buy any additional equipment if my sierra denali already has power folding mirrors? They're just not tow mirrors.

[@boostautoparts]

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.

[@jbaustin1962]

If I choose to hardwire I do not need the RZY harness?

[@boostautoparts]

No

[@pat14lang]

I thought 16-18 LTZ and High Country came factory with turn signals in the mirrors?

[@boostautoparts]

They do - this truck was just used to provide an installation guide.

[@tjkinnard2297]

So I have to get this harness for all the lights to work if I had the small mirrors before

[@boostautoparts]

Yes

[@MrRader36]

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]

Unfortunately we don't have an upgrade path for a totally manual mirror (without power adjust).

[@MrRader36]

@@boostautoparts ok thank you very much

[@boostautoparts]

@@MrRader36 No problem!

[@tylerhorn3454]

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?

[@boostautoparts]

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 [e-mail] and we will get this resolved ASAP

[@muncast]

Do this mirrors have auto dimming?

[@boostautoparts]

No towing mirrors (including OEM) come with auto dim.

[@MatthewK-i4w]

What do you call the pins that go into the harness and on the wire ends?

[@boostautoparts]

Those are the specific terminals for the mating connectors and come pre-crimped on our harness.

[@jbaustin1962]

Hey guys :) how do I find out if I have an early or late 2015 silverado 1500?

[@boostautoparts]

It's based on your build date. Email your VIN to [e-mail] and our team can let you know.

[@gelato4114]

Would the side rear facing lights on the mirrors work with the cargo lamp button or when you put the truck in reverse

[@boostautoparts]

GM designed them to operate as cargo lights - however we do also offer a modification to have them work as cargo and reverse.

[@robertvaldes9436]

Where do I find this modification?? I perfer them as reverse lights

[@angelsoto2469]

Thanks this was easy!!!!!!

[@boostautoparts]

[@urbanmechanic9254]

What about on the 2014 and the hardwire option do you have a video on that?

[@boostautoparts]

Email [e-mail] for assistance

[@skylinezz4482]

Would this method work for the reverse lights to turn on when backing up or still would need a fuse tap?

[@boostautoparts]

You would need to do this first, then the cargo & reverse mod.

[@skylinezz4482]

@@boostautoparts ok got it thank you👍

[@brandonparsons7321]

I only need two wires as Iam adding signals. Do you have just a two wire kit?

Are these mirrors telescoping?

Will this work to upgrade from DL8 to DL3 mirrors with turn signal, heat and puddle lights?

[@boostautoparts]

No - we have a separate video for that. Check that out here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/roOXeYeIorN6esU

[@scottcrisp687]

Will this harness kit work if I’m not running switch backs and just running the leds?

[@boostautoparts]

This harness will add running light, turn signal, and cargo light.

[@alyssadowning3567]

Has anyone removed the fourth mirror bolt since your truck doesn't have the fourth hole??

[@boostautoparts]

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.

[@Tylerfixit]

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?

But why didn’t you show what all this wiring does? I mean you did all that work but I don’t know what it accomplished. What was it for?

[@boostautoparts]

Running light, turn signal, and cargo light.

[@DrillSgtPain]

@@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?

So what does the the wiring do? Is this just so the lights come on for cargo and reverse?

[@boostautoparts]

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.
