Mirror Swap Question: Are Side Mirrors Plug and Play on an 07 Tahoe?

[lilsalmon]

I recently purchased a 2007 Tahoe LT2 with side mirrors that have no puddle lights or turn signals built in. I guess my question is two-fold.

First, were the puddle lamps and turn signals an actual option for the 07?

Second, if I picked up a pair on eBay is there a good possibility that the wiring for the turn signals and puddle lights are already there which would make it a direct bolt up with no wiring?

Thanks for any insight on this.

The wiring will work, and yes the 07's had that option. If your current mirrors aren't power-folding and the new ones are, you may need to get them programmed. Other than that it is a direct swap.

They are not power-folding. They are just plain mirrors with no turn signals or puddle lights. My big concern was ... is the wiring going to be pre-plumbed?

Zach, I also sent over a message to you... wanted to know what roof rack you have on your 08 and if that was plug and play also.

From what I've read, you may need to get new driver and passenger door switches to get the power-fold buttons. People here have done the swap so someone else will definitely know.

My roof rack is the Escalade/Yukon Denali rack, and it is also a direct swap, no modifications needed whatsoever.

What years for the rack? 07 to 10?

I did some serious searching and if anyone can point me to both the mirror conversions and the rack it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, 07-10. I can give you instructions for installing both if you need. They are very easy, especially the roof rack.

Well two things... I need to get my hands on a rack first . The mirrors..... well let me stew on them a tad. Either way I may hit you up for some advice.

I know I am going to get completely lambasted here by hijacking my own thread but.... Does anyone know where I could get the pieces to swap out my woodgrain with the stainless? No stick on stuff please just OEM. If it only through the dealer any idea on rough cost?

Thanks.

You're gonna have some luck with the woodgrain to aluminum swap. Many members here with Z71 and LS trucks (the 2 models with aluminum) will be happy to trade you if you want to go that route.

As for buying parts online, you could try GMPartsDirect.com.

It's a pretty big pain in the dick to swap out the mirrors. I had to replace my passenger side mirror and was not impressed by the lack of forethought by GM on their design.

I believe 4-5 hundred if you buy all of it.
