@@adubbz23 No - all mirrors regardless of where you get them from will slant upwards on 99-07 GM vehicles due to the angle on the A-Pillar.

[@boostautoparts]

I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 that doesn’t have powered mirrors or anything and I put them on and it seems like the mirrors are angled in too far is there anyway I could do something to make them angle outwards more?

[@dominicsolorio8621]

Great mirrors. But I can figure out where I messed up. I got the switchback option but the running light on the mirrors won’t come on

If i don't have rear defrost is there anyway other way to get the defrost to work? Also if i want power folding mirror's do i need anything specific or is it like plug'n'play? i have power adjusting mirrors

[@boostautoparts]

We do not have an upgrade to add defrost at this time for trucks not originally equipped. We don't offer power fold for the 99-02 trucks at this time, but if you email [e-mail] our team can notify you when we do.

[@Lyle-zm9zb]

I installed these mirrors about a week ago. Followed the video every step but the lights don’t blink with the blinker and the light on the mirror side stays solid red. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[@boostautoparts]

That's certainly not typical, it sounds like you have the blue wire hooked up wrong. Please reach out to our support team at [e-mail] with a video and we will get this resolved ASAP.

[@rubenarreola9362]

Mine did the same thing did you find out what the issue was?

[@SXMX69]

Okay so I’m having trouble with the turn signals. I wired them up exactly as described and the passenger side works perfect but the driver side does hyper flash on the dash but none of my lights are blinking. The only thing blinking is the mirror and it is staying in the “white” mode and flashing fast.

[@boostautoparts]

Something isn't hooked up right. Give our support team a call at 765-831-2830 and they can assist in getting this resolved ASAP.

[@Fuel_your_passion]

I got some 08-13 style tow mirrors with the strip lights like yours and the plugs are different I've already swapped the bases so they would bolt on. But I'm having trouble with my wiring.

[@boostautoparts]

We don't have an adapter to go from 07-13 to 99-02 because the bases and internal wiring are both different. Our 1999-2002 mirrors have the correct base + wiring to work on these vehicles.

[@airdubz9798]

Would this be the exact same process for my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500? I'm assuming it would being as the electrical components are damn near the same

[@boostautoparts]

Yes

[@miguelavila5760]

I did the exact thing but now when i unlock the truck none of the lights light up and the reverse dont turn on unless i missed something? Because im confused the signal lights turn on but i want the reverse and other functions to work

[@astrobrizzy3888]

Do you need to remove the entire door panel or just the triangle piece opposite of the mirror

[@boostautoparts]

In order to do the wiring, you'll need to remove the door panel.

[@oogboonga1429]

My 2002 2500hd doesnt have power mirrors, theres no wires at all going to the mirror. How would i be able to get powered mirrors working?

[@boostautoparts]

We wouldn't have an upgrade to gain the power adjust, just the lighting features.

[@DeltaElite121]

Will these fit an 01 Chevrolet 2500HD? I'd imagine it's the same from the 1500, but I also know that assuming isn't always a good idea in the auto world. My 2500HD has full defrost and power adjust options, for reference.

[@boostautoparts]

Yes they will! You can check them out here: boostautoparts.com/products/1999-2002-tow-gm-mirrors?Mirror%20Install&Comment&KZbin

I'm probably missing this, but how are the mirrors heated if my truck does not currently have heated mirrors? 1999 Chevy 1500 with Power mirrors, but not heated. No rear defrost on this truck.

[@boostautoparts]

If you don't have rear window defrost the mirror heat won't work.

[@richardbarkley9909]

My Niece recently bought an '02 Silverado 2500 HD with the Duramax. It has the small standard mirrors which I believe are power adjust and thats it. We're looking for OEM or SOLID aftermarkets Tow mirrors. I'm a Ford guy and learning about Chevies. I'm being told that '99-'02 mirrors will fit and some are saying up to '06 will fit and work. Also being told that in some installations the mirrors lean weird.....we sure don't want this. Can anyone help?

[@boostautoparts]

Give our team a call at 765-831-2830 - we are very familiar with these vehicles and can answer all of your questions.

[@josesalas1695]

Can I just connect the main harness to them? Without all that wiring?! Will the led still work?

[@boostautoparts]

You can just plug the main harness in and power adjust and defrost will work. You can wire in the LED's at a later point in time. On 99-02 vehicles you must do the wiring to get any lighting functions to work.

[@kadenreynolds3137]

2001 chevy duramax. no power to the mirrors. how am i supposed to plug and play.

[@boostautoparts]

If you didn't originally have power adjust you cannot add it - you would only be able to get the lighting features working from hardwiring them in.

[@BoostedBill]

How did you get the hole through the rubber boot on the firewall? I’m struggling with that part

[@boostautoparts]

You can poke a hole then fish it through with a straightened out coat hanger. Give our support team a call at 765-831-2830 if you need further guidance.

Sounds like you have mirrors that don't have the running light function. You could purchase our dual function running & signal harness to get the running light feature. We sell the taps for the signals on our site as well.

[@hectorpinonreyes2535]

Please help me to find witch wire is turning light l have black, red and purple on my mirror for gmc 2002 HD

Hello, Our mirrors do not utilize a purple wire, therefore the mirrors are not from us. Unfortunately we do not know the wire colors of other manufacturers mirrors, so you would need to contact them directly.

[@fredochoa2853]

[@caiden1174]

hi, my question is if the passenger side orange and white wires are long enough to run through to the fuse box, would i just splice the orange to the orange and white to the white and then crimp the two wires into the fuse tap? thanks

[@boostautoparts]

Yes!

[@isaacmurphy7007]

What is the orange wire off the mirror for I have a set that has everything just not the high output reverse lights and no orange wire will it be need for everything on my mirrors to still work?

[@boostautoparts]

Orange wire is for running lights.

[@jacobdoyle6097]

so my wires are purple,black ,and red so do instructions for that

[@boostautoparts]

We do not utilize purple wires, therefore the mirrors must not be from us. We would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of your mirrors for guidance.

[@myemail2005]

I didn't know the little clear lights on the mirror side are also reverse lights till you mentioned it in your video. Thank you! The same lights are also running lights too? Are they much dimmer when they are in running light mode than when in reverse mode? Thanks again!!!

[@boostautoparts]

The rear facing lights are only designed to operate as reverse lights. We offer the forward facing lights as signal only, or signal & running light.

[@braxtoncyphert8655]

I have stock mirrors on my 2001 Silverado 1500, and was wondering if my mirror already has wires running to them. I seen a connection on this truck, but was wondering if mine had it, being it has small stock mirrors. Thanks

[@boostautoparts]

If your stock mirrors are power adjust, then our mirrors will plug and play for power adjust. To pick up the lighting functions you would hardwire them in following this video.

[@ktm_braapbraap9719]

So did you guys run both sides to the fuse box or did you guys splice them in the kick panel ? Just got my mirrors trying to install but passenger side ain’t long enough. Thanks

[@boostautoparts]

You can splice the passenger side running light and reverse light wires to the drivers side in the kick panel and just run the drivers side through.

[@ansondavis9724]

Just put these on my 02 duramax but reverse lights don’t work and I’m thinking it’s because my truck is a manual does anyone know if that makes a difference for what fuse slot is supposed to be used for the reverse lights?

Reach out to our support team with pictures of your fuse box and your VIN and they'll get to the bottom of this ASAP.

[@JimmySLuna]

get them to work in my 2002 tahoe? both reverse light, turn light and defroster?

[@boostautoparts]

Yes, you can do this on a 2002 Tahoe.

[@volteriix7135]

Do I need to do this whole process if I just buy the lights with only blinkers and not running lights?

[@boostautoparts]

If you have a 1999-2002 the turn signals must be wired to the BCM. It is only plug & play on 2003-2007 vehicles.

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Very nice mirrors. Been thinking about changing on my 2000 1500. Are these offered with the mirror heater function as well? I already read they are power adjust like the stock mirrors but, I assume (and you didn’t show) that they are manual extend, not power correct?

[@boostautoparts]

The 1999-2002 mirrors are equipped with defrost. The mirrors are manual extending.

[@christophersoltysiak4469]

How would you wire a 2000 1500?

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

@@christophersoltysiak4469 Not exactly sure what you mean but, I believe every 2000 1500 (even those that may have manual windows, if any do) comes equipped with the same wiring harness. Which means the wiring for power windows/mirrors is already in your door. You would just have to plug them in. If your truck doesn’t have power mirrors, then you would need to pick up the trim pieces and controls as well. Then it’s just plug n play.

[@brandopadilla4704]

Instead of wiring to the reverse lights, is it possible to wire the flood lights to the cargo light switch button?

[@boostautoparts]

Unfortunately not due to the circuit design of cargo on the 99-07 GM trucks.

[@brandopadilla4704]

@@boostautoparts I see, would there be a way to wire the flood lights to an AUX switch? Don’t need the lights to come on every time in reverse. But would love to have the option to turn them on when needed.

[@boostautoparts]

@@brandopadilla4704 if you are technically savvy you could do that. The white wire is the power and you can trigger that however you'd like. The only caveat is the gray wire needs a constant ground.

[@isaccmartinez6533]

So the process would be the same even for only signal mirrors ?

[@boostautoparts]

Hello. You are correct. With signal only mirrors you will not have the orange wire we show tapping here.

It should be plug and play. The only thing he is doing it making the reverse light works and the running lights. If you just do the basic plug and play you will have turn signals but no running lights and no reverse

[@boostautoparts]

The wiring is for the lighting features

[@noesoto5835]
