    Looking to order oem tow mirrors. Are they just general flat plastic black or color matching?

    If they are just basic black I can live with them. I’ll probably swap them out and put my regular mirrors on when not towing my camper

    Just black but they do also make smoke lenses for them. I have some on mine instead of the amber. Screenshot_2019-01-16-21-18-48.jpg Screenshot_2018-12-27-15-28-51-1.jpg

    So is that the side turn signal marker that’s smoked?

    It’s also a DRL light (the bottom two leds); if you have the wire, I have a platinum and had to run a DRL wire for them to work b/c plats don’t come with that wire from factory...

    You might not want to do that every time, install requires removing the door panel to get at those 3 bolts. I think they look good anyway, and the stock ones will seem small after you get used to it.

    You might also enjoy pointing the lower mirror at your rear tires. I use them all the time to avoid rashing my tire against the curb when parallel parking.

    It’s like putting colored lettering into the added door sills.
