Thanks!

Scott Walters Thanks!

Silver Ice - Thanks! Will await your PM

Thanks! Be sure to subscribe and check out all my other videos. :) Talk to you soon.

Phil Gamboa will do.

Clemsonfan151 - Thank you!

Mike Jorden - I haven’t seen them first hand. I’ve only had my hands on OEM, 1A Auto/AM Auto, and Syppo. In fact, I have a list of “Mirrors to stay away from” and a couple of models are from Carid. “Torxe” is one that I know for sure. Don’t recall Spec-D. Many of those mirror makers source the mirros from the same place. So the $200 and less sets are the ones that are the most problematic. Mostly incorrectly wired internally.

They are a direct fit. If you have a 2016 or later truck, they will plug right up (with the LED Tail Light harness). You will get hyperflash. I have adapter harnesses that correct this.

Not necessarily. For 2014 and early 2015, GM didn't land the tow mirror lighting circuits (specifically the cargo light and running light) at the door jamb - cabin side. So if you upgrade to tow mirrors, there will be additional work you'll have to do to get the tow mirrors to function correctly. Check out my other videos and look at RZY - Jumper Harness Part #23387133.

If you have power windows, door locks, you can upgrade to power adjust and power fold mirrors if you like. I can be reached at www.HarnessDR.com for more info.

Phil, what all does it need to upgrade to power folding mirrors

www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-%E2%80%93-mirrors-explained/

You will need to swap the harness with my custom harness OR modify your existing harness with one of my DIY Kits. There will be NO need for a computer reprogram. Not sure why the dealer says this. In the 3000+ customers I've successfully helped with my harness, there has been no need for a dealer reprogram. You will retain all the features you have now, memory, power fold, etc as long as you have that now. Email me at - sales@HarnessDR.com for more info and/or to order you custom harness set. Thanks!

Do you have a snap? lol

Andrew Stoffa - Thanks! While I when not explored other vehicles makes, I am open to expanding if it’s possible. Please email me at sales@HarnessDR.com and will see what the requirements might be and see if there is a possible solution or path for you.

There is in a way. I put boost auto tow mirrors onto my sierra. Originally went with the smoke lens for the front with white running lights and amber turn signal. Swapped that out for their clear lens(which is more of a frosted lens). They put out so much more usable light then the smoked lens.

Baldo Preciado - This is only a requirement if you have Diesel. The Exhaust Brake relies on this circuit. Without it, you’ll get an CEL Error. With Gas, you don’t need it.

Thanks! Another one, I've searched on the website for the mirrors, and there are multiple ones to choose from that seem very similar. I'm kinda lost on which ones to order.

If you tell me your trim level, gas/diesel, and what you want (power fold, puddle lamp, chrome cap, black cap)..we can go from there.

Phil Gamboa - it’s a gas LT with All Star package. I’d like power fold, puddle light is optional depending on price difference & black cap.

You can retrofit virtually any of the tow mirrors I have shown. You can gain power fold too.

I think you found my email? I saw an email from ya and have replied.

Greg - This would be a 2-phase process for you. First phase is the swap door harnesses. Second phase, since you're 2014, would be to source and install the RZY Jumper Harness - Part # 23387133. I have a video for this. GM didn't land the tow mirror light circuits to your door jamb, on the cabin side of the connector. Thanks GM. LOL. Specifically, the cargo lamp and running lamp circuits will be missing. So...if you are comfortable with installing that jumper harness, you can achieve this upgrade.

If you have an 18 and LTZ Tail lights, you'll want the factory harnesses that come with those tail lights. Swap out the LT Harness with the LTZ Harnesses. Install the tail lights. They will plug right up. You will get hyper flash. I make an inline harness that has the resistors wired in so it makes it plug and play. Otherwise, you'll have to cut/splice your factory LTZ harness with the resistors.

Phil Gamboa so your harness would replace the LTZ harness then?

@@bryanmcinerny3658 I know this is a little late, but I bought some of the 16-18 LTZ tail lights off ebay, brand new. Gen5DIY makes a plug and play harness. I have them installed on my 2014 silverado. Here is a link: www.gen5diy.com/collections/14-18-silverado-p-p-harnesses/products/14-18-silverado-led-taillight-harness It was super easy to do. Took me about 30 minutes. Like I said, I got my lights on ebay.. I think I gave about $650 for them.. But they were brand new

You can find me here. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-mirrors-explained/

Yep - This one from 1A Auto - www.1aauto.com/mirror-pair-trail-ridge-tr00045/i/trmrp00045. And the same mirror from AM-Auto - www.am-autoparts.com/products/side-view-mirrors/AM-2481561241.html. These mirrors, out of the box, will be Plug and Play with my harnesses for 2015.5 and up. If you have 2014 - 2015, they will still be Plug and Play, but you'll need to source and install the RZY Jumper Harness 23387133. This jumper is to get the cabin side of the door jambs pinned.

There is an additional requirement for 2014 trucks. Please check out my thread o GM-Trucks. I show the additional requirements on the very first post. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-mirrors-explained/

turner111971 - Looks like they are Out of Stock from both vendors.

Still always factory GM first.

Jeff, I've done this upgrade over 200 times, helping over 300 members on the GM Trucks Forum. You can most certainly upgrade to these mirrors from 1A Auto. They are and have been in a Sold Out situation for about 2-3 weeks now. In order for this particular set to be Plug and Play, they will need to come to me first. I then fix them up and build a harness set so that when it gets to you, they will be Plug and Play. All you need to do is replace the harnesses with mine, and swap the mirrors. You'll retain power fold, power adjust, heat, turn signal, reverse tilt (if equipped, and memory (if equipped). You will lost auto dimming on the driver side. No tow mirror has driver side dimming. You'll gain the amber park lamps, and white LED cargo lights (spot lights that shine rearward). I provide all this as a service, but mirrors are out of stock at the moment. Let me know if I can help. Sorry for the delay in response. I must have missed the reply.

Thanks much. I've been watching to see if they get these mirrors in stock. Do you have a website I can use to contact you and get the shipping info and cost?

Email me at pgamboa@yahoo.com. I don't have a site. Primarily sell to GM-Trucks forum members. I do all this from my home during my free time.

Michael DeGiovanni - Yes you can, and can even gain power fold, but since you’re 2014, there will be a little more work involved inside the cabin and under the hood. Check out my RZY Jumper Harness video as that’s what you’ll need in additional to swapping your door harnesses.

Phil i have the same truck same year 2014 as Michael but am NOT looking for the power and lights bells and whistles, with that said how hard is it to replace the factory ones that I currently have with just a simple tow mirrors...?

If you don't want to gain any of the lighting features, simply just install the mirror.

I went with boost automotive and very pleased but after seeing this video I with I waited and got the set he did with power folding and puddle lamp.

meademods I don’t have any info on trucks older than 2014.

These are made in Taiwan. They are the best aftermarket mirrors amongst other aftermarket mirrors. :) I prefer OEM myself.

#### #### - I have no knowledge of trucks prior to 2014. My apologies.

#### #### me too but on a 2003 Escalade. Have you found any answers? If so please share.

@@Lovetolivetruely check out boostautoparts.com if you haven't done anything yet.

Thanks Phil very informative video

No. You will need a custom built harnesses (by me) AND a RZY Jumper Harness Part # 23387133 since you are 2014.

how much would the custom harnesses be

jan meier - I agree that the GM Amber lens disburses the light better than the smoke lens. Even with having more LEDs in the smoke lens, light disbursement is better during the day. The turn signal in my tail lights are red. They are the factory LED lights that come on the higher trim (LTZ/High Country) 2016+ 1500 trucks.

Phil Gamboa at 10:25 it just Looks like amber turn signals. I was thinking that you maybe modded the led. Is it possible to fit the 2016 high trim tail lights on a 2015 ltz?

Pierre-Michael Cote - Not that I am aware of. It seems that the upper glass vibration across all mirrors are very similar and are an inherent issue since you have a much larger surface area.

Funny that ford tow mirrors don't do this at all

To get lights to work, you will need to consider swapping the door harnesses or modify your door harnesses. There may be a need to run wiring into the cabin/under the hood since you have a 2015. You can reach at HarnessDR.com and we can continue the validation and needs there.

@@philgamboa2906 can I just buy the tow mirrors and not hook up anything considered "new" to the truck. I really just want the mirrors. maybe the turn signal work and heat.

Please contact me from our website. www.HarnessDR.com. We will gladly guide you i the right direction.

Gill Therrien At this time, any mirror from 1A Auto or AM Auto that supports the Memory function is problematic. There are are 45 units that have been identified. I would hold off on making a purchase at this time. Check out my thread on GM-Trucks. I’ll be providing updates as they become available. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-%E2%80%93-mirrors-explained/

Just wanted to give you an update in that 1A Auto/AM Auto has corrected the internal wiring error on the bad batch. All memory support mirrors are now good to go for this upgrade.

1A Auto/AM Auto has 2 models of power folding mirrors. Non-Mirror Memory and Mirror Memory. You can use either one. If you don't have seat memory now, you won't be able to gain that. The difference between seat memory model and non, is that the mirror memory model has a bonus puddle lamp that shines down.

What year and trim is your truck? What mirrors did you have before? Do you seat memory?

Michael Mitchell if you get tow mirrors with any lighting features, you’ll need a harness or swap a modification to your factory harnesses.

I owned a 2007.5 2500HD with standard mirrors. I purchased a set of aftermarket towing mirrors with the built in turn signal lights on the outside of the mirror. They worked just fine no mods, no extra harness. GM told me all trucks that come with power mirrors have the harness ready for a plug and play setup.

What year is your truck? In the thousands of customers I've successfully helped with this upgrade, none have needed any sort of programming.

@@philgamboa2906 I'm not Pierre, but I have a 2018 1500 LTZ with the DP8 mirrors and I'm looking at replacing with the A1 Auto mirrors but I have the same concern.

Michael Wright you can reach me at HarnessDR.com

You can reach me here. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-mirrors-explained/ You can also reach me via phil.gamboa@icloud.com

Vang Vang - yes. Send me an email at gamboaphil@gmail.com

Ray Johns - Since you’re a 2015, you’ll have to determine if your truck is an early 2015 or a mid year (MY2015) 2015.5. This will tell us whether GM landed the tow mirror light circuits or not to your door jamb. Send me an email at gamboaphil@gmail.com for more info. I’ll let you know what I need to verify.

And you can also order the mirrors with the chrome caps.

John Gray - Yes sir. With tow mirrors, there are new lighting features whose circuits are not present in your existing harness.

Sounds like he needs the larger Tow Mirrors. Reach me at HarnessDR.com - I do offer New, Factory GM Tow Mirrors in both manual fold and power fold options. I also offer the door harnesses to make this swap completely Plug and Play. He can also gain power fold if he wants.

James Gonzalez - pgamboa@yahoo.com

smc772 - No. any mirror upgrade will require new harnesses. I custom build these specific for each year, trim, and mirror you’re looking to upgrade to.

Phil Gamboa how do I order these? And how much? 2017 Silverado 1500 z71 LTZ midnight edition

This is only applicable to 2014 - 2017. My truck is a 2016 and have only had visibility to this year range.

You can find a set for your truck. The power mirrors will be plug and play, but if you don't have heated mirrors, you'll have to wire them yourself. You'll also have to wire the turn signals, running lights and reverse lights yourself as well. There are forums that will help you figure out what wires to tap in to. It's not hard to do. I installed a set of aftermarket mirrors on my 14 Silverado that doesn't have the factory plug for the turn signals in the glass or anything else. I had to wire it myself. For me, I had to connect eight wires, four wires per mirror. Two of the eight wires are just ground wires so they're super easy.

Steven Cuttic Thank you for getting back with me I appreciate it. Great video Im now I'm a subscriber. My mirrors are heated and power adjustable.

Bart Jeffcoat I almost forgot.. to have the running lights work as dual function... running light and turn sjgnal... you would need to do a little extra wiring with the mirrors. I had to install resistors and diodes behind the top glass. It might seem like a lot of work, but it's not that bad. I did see that there was a little kit so I wouldn't have to cut and solder the mirror wires, but I saw that after I had already modified them. It was just a little kit that had the resistors and diodes already inside a little box and just made the install cleaner. Check the forums, silveradosierra.com is where I got information plus other KZfaq videos. I had to connect two wires for turn signals, one wire per side, two wires for the running lights, one wire per side and two wires for the reverse lights, one wire per side. That's 6 of your 8 wires. Your other two are ground wires.

eBay. There are off of a 2016+ Silverado LTZ Trim. They will plug right up if you have a 2016+, but since they are LEDs, you'll get hyperflash until you add 3 Ohm resistors on each side.

Phil Gamboa thank you sir

@@philgamboa2906 can I use those tail lights on a 2014 Silverado?

Amontanea What do you mean to relocate the wires?

Phil Gamboa thank you ! Gorgeous truck. Awesome videos. Very helpful with my 2016 blackout edition

Steels Magnolia Thanks! I just retrofitted Articulating Running Boards from a Denali! Be on the lookout for that video. :)

Phil Gamboa got step ups 👍🏻😊 my beast is on my cover photo. Fun to accessorize

Donn Worry - I was only to compare what I had on hand at the time of the video.

With the correct custom harnesses..yes. No BCM flashing, reprogramming or anything like that. Email at gamboaphil@gmail.com for more info.

Johnny Luk highly doubt it. Mounting points are different.

Phil Gamboa thank you for letting me know. Did GM make a power folding tow mirror for 2009 trucks?

Johnny Luk I do not have info for trucks older than 2014

Pin # 1 on the mirror connector is the running lamp circuit. Pin # 13 is the turn signal.

Phil Gamboa if I have all the same features as the mirror, is it plug and play? I have the dl3 mirrors on my half ton denali. Thanks

Even though you have some of the features, it is not plug and play. The cargo light will not work since the existing harness will have one of the dimming circuits using the same slot as the cargo light. Also, the running lamp will be using the puddle lamp circuit and it won't work right either. The running lamp will behave like a puddle lamp and will only come on at night when you unlock the doors, instead of a true running light that is on all the time your headlights are on.

Phil Gamboa I rewired the blue to pin#1 (orange)... which pin is the dome light? That's where the orange would go correct?

There is no dome lamp on these mirrors. Orange Wire is Puddle Lamp, Yellow Wire is Cargo Lamp, Blue Wire is Running Lamp.

Email me - pgamboa@yahoo.com

Send me an email - phil.gamboa@icloud.com

Phil Gamboa do I need this harness, if my regular mirrors has all the same features already

Diesel Your harness actually doesn’t. It only has Turn Signals and Puddle lamps. It does not have the cargo lamps. Also, the running Lamp and the Puddle Lamp slot share the same slot but terminate in different positions at the door jamb. That’s why it has to be separated and made custom. This requires a customization of your Factory harnesses or a completed custom harness by me.

Phil Gamboa where can I get this harness?

Grey and white? Not sure. Can you be more specific?

Phil Gamboa I have a set very similar to ones on right with manual fold smoked lens.It has the white connector plug in middle of triangle,and a small quick connect plug next to that.It came with an extra set of grey and white wires with a quick connector on end of them.Not sure if it’s for the reverse/cargo led on mirrors or what.They are for a Tundra

Those caught my eye also, me like those pretty sure those aren’t stock on that gen
