I recently bought Tow Mirrors off Ebay for my 03 silverado 2500HD. I got the ones with built in blinkers as I really like those, and they are also Power/Heated. I felt like I got them for $235...So here the link is -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/181683919398?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT --

TOOLS NEEDED
7mm Socket
10mm socket
Flat Head Screwdriver (Something to remove Trim Pieces)
Ratchet and Extension
T20 Socket(If Applicable)

STEPS

UNINSTALLATION

3)Remove Door Lock Switch (Not the electrical switches, the physical switch that shows whether the door is locked or not)
4)Remove 7mm screw behind door lock switch
5)Remove Plastic Cover on each side of door (If Applicable)---------This was not on my 2500HD
5A)Remove T20 Bolt behind plastic cover(s) (If Applicable)

INSTALLATION OF NEW MIRROR

It's not about what's better for me. LOL. It's that you likely will not get any response on such an old thread.
