One more question. Do you think I'll be able to use my existing outside housings, which are already painted etc.?

you can use the plastic stick on chrome thing and your top (painted) cover, yes

The Dorman do not come apart really. Or should I say not as easy as the OEM. You can replace the bottom plastic piece you referring to pretty easy. I had a set of the Dorman and didn't like them. They were flimsy to me. I sold them and got a OEM set of Craigslist.

Thanks for the info. I am not averse to getting them painted, or even simpler, buying the full chrome cover for them. as you can see by my pictures, I'm still OK with chrome. I'm old school lol.

@Keanen55 , I agree that the Dormans are not as sturdy as OEM's would be. But at cost, I can buy another entire set of Dormans if I have to and still not reach the price of new OEMS...

So what was not plug and play? I looked at your other post and the only thing I can see is dremeling out the switch housing instead of buying the one that fits the new switch...

My very first post explained you had to get a used switch or a new switch that would need programmed...

Back from the dead.

So I busted my driver side mirror on my PPV and I'm debating going with the power fold mirrors. Just to reiterate, I need the DL3 mirror and a USED switch to make it work??
