Side Mirror Swap

[Andrew99Tahoe]

Has anyone ever swapped out their side mirrors with newer generation Chevy HD tow mirrors? I came across a pair, new for a killer deal and wanted to put them on my 99 Tahoe. Was wondering if there's any mods? The guy i'm buying them from has a 95 pick-up, which also has a pair, and he said they bolt right in. I wanted to get other opinions.

Yea you can install but if you were your looking for the power mirror to work i wouldn't think so. Also replacing/installing new mirrors is a pain in the a** i needed to replace passenger one because it broke and may i say what a tight place i was in took me about an hour and a half just to replace old mirror but at the end of the day it looks great

You should check and see if they are for the 88-00 trucks or if those are actually for the NBS! they are different but if he has the same mirrors on his truck then I would guess he has the mirrors for The OBS truck. I bought mine from Ebay they are made for the OBS doors and have a gusset that makes the door more rigid so the heavy mirror doesn't stretch the steel. I have a few pics of mine. Power/Heat. And LED Marker/signal.

Finally Done

It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, minus trying to get the lower 2 nuts for the mirror mount. Other than that it bolted right up.

Here are a few more shots.

Were they OEM take offs or something from the aftermarket? Saw one like that the other day and it got me thinking.

 

[Andrew99Tahoe]

Im not sure if the were OEM take offs. I doubt they were because of the box they were in when I bought them. Im guessing aftermarket. I know you can get them online now too made for our generation of Chevys. They bolt right in and have the option for power too if you have power mirrors. I still have them on, and enjoy them. I dont tow much, but it gives it a better look and greater rear viewing area.

 

[pineymike]

Thanks for the reply, I've found some that are aftermarket. Not sure what type I'll get but would like something larger than the factory mirrors. Mine is a 2dr so towing with it is super easy compared to the truck I had.

I'm interested to see pictures and know what brand is best for after market tow mirrors for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe I would like to know also if all tahoes are equipped with wiring for turn signals. I want power, turn signaled, and heated my truck has factory power and heat but does not have signals. I don't want to buy ones that the turn signals wont work with.
