Just curious to know. I have an 07 Tahoe LS. I want to upgrade the mirrors from factory powered to powered with the signal light. Has anyone attempted this or know if its possible?

 

Hello, I too, am interested in upgrading my mirrors, I have a 01 suburban, I want to piggyback off your question to see if I can do the same for my truck. .. I will keep watch for any information to maybe help us both. ... I was told that there are after market signal indicators,that can be added to the mirrors and hooked up to the turn signals. ... off eBay. .

 

'00-'06 trucks need to have wiring added if you want functional turn signal mirrors. I upgraded my '01 Burb to the HD towing mirrors, but no turn signals. Job was easy - just pop off the little triangle trim piece on the interior door panel, and that exposes the plug and bolts.


'07-'13 trucks are plug n play for turn signal mirrors. I upgraded to HD tow mirrors on both of my trucks. It's more involved, because the mirrors plug into the window switches in the arm rests, so you have to remove the entire interior door panel to do it. I bought all my mirrors at 1aauto, they've held up well, and they have a great video on YouTube with step-by-step instructions on the replacement.

 

So for the 01,is it just a matter of tapping into the turn signals and /or park lights ?

 

Yes, and obviously running those wires up to the plug, figuring out where to connect the wires inside the plug, or do lots of splicing. Seemed like a lot of effort for something as small as signal mirrors.
