Success with OEM Power Folding Tow Mirrors on a 2012 I recently installed the power folding tow mirrors on my 2012 5.7L GMT900, and I'm thrilled to report that it was an absolute success. The installation process itself was relatively straightforward, taking about two hours to complete. However, getting the mirrors working with the OEM wiring required some trial and error. The first step was to purchase the necessary components: a set of power folding tow mirrors from a reputable supplier, along with the OEM wiring harness that connects them to the truck's electrical system. I chose to go with the Morimoto Power Folding Tow Mirrors, which come with everything needed for installation except for the wiring. Once I had all the necessary parts, I began by disconnecting the battery and removing the door panels to access the wiring harness. Next, I connected the power folding tow mirrors to the OEM wiring harness, making sure to route the wires through the door panel grommet to keep everything tidy. After connecting the mirrors to the wiring harness, I tested them out to ensure they were working correctly. To my surprise, they folded and unfolded perfectly, just like on a newer model truck. However, the OEM turn signal lights didn't seem to be working as expected. To fix this issue, I had to tap into the existing wiring harness to get power to the turn signal lights. This required some creative problem-solving, but ultimately, it paid off. The turn signals now work flawlessly, and the mirrors fold and unfold smoothly every time. Overall, installing OEM power folding tow mirrors on my 2012 GMT900 was a game-changer. Not only do they look amazing, but they also provide a level of functionality that's hard to find in aftermarket products. If you're looking to upgrade your truck's mirrors, I highly recommend giving this a try. It may require some extra effort, but the end result is well worth it. I've included a few photos below to give you an idea of how they look installed: [Photos: Power Folding Tow Mirrors Installed] As you can see, the mirrors fit perfectly and blend in seamlessly with the rest of the truck's body. The power folding feature is especially convenient when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. In conclusion, installing OEM power folding tow mirrors on my 2012 GMT900 was a resounding success. I'm thrilled to have this feature on my truck, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their ride.
