    Hey guys,

    So I have been looking around to see if I can replace my stock power folding mirrors with an aftermarket replacement non power folding. Has anybody attempted this? Connectors work without modifications? The other functions such as heat and mirror adjustments worked also?Please help.

    From what I've seen, everyone seems to prefer going to the power folding but those stock power folding OEM tow mirrors are quite expensive around $700-800. (Unless someone here is selling a set they don't want to use anymore for a reasonable price).

    Below are links to what I've seen. As you can see, majority likes power folding:

    I agree, although I have no direct experience with aftermarket other than reading comments from people who were not happy with them.

    I changed my Sequoia to OEM mirrors purchased from Amazon.
