Got this installed yesterday and so far its working great auto dim mirror out of a 2010 F150, 3 wire hook up and in my opinion looks a lot better then the expo auto dims, best part is it was $20!



and one of the truck

 

Nice, I like that. I dont like the looks of the expo ones but that looks good.

 

ya thats why I went this route I think it is a lot more clean then the expo mirror.

 

Looks nice! I did the same thing because I didnt like the look of the expo ones, but mine was a Gentex from an 02 Grand Cherokee. Wouldve liked to stay Ford though.

 

There are two versions of the Gen 2 Explorer Autolamps/Autodim mirror. The earlier mirror is bulkier than the later version. Gen 2's Ex 4-doors are 95~2001 but I don't know the changeover date for the two mirrors


Early




Late:

 

Nice! I'm surprised someone hasn't done this already with any 04+ f150

 

I have only seen the earlier ones, good to know there is a later one just in case my wife eants one. The one I put in looks pretty close in size.

 

I also have one that doesnt look like either of these, lol

 

I dont like the looks of the expo ones. I have no need for auto lamps.

 

ya I have one of the late model expo ones in my girls 03 explorer and it doesn't seem to work as well as this one. now I am just on the look out for a good deal on one with the LCD screen in it so I can hook up a backup cam.

 

Truck's looking good. I see you got some Eagle Alloy 137's? Haha

 

I have the 2010 F150 mirrors in both of my Rangers that have the reverse camera screen built right into them so you can see the camera when you back up.

 

Long enough sig there JP?? Jeesh!


GB :)

 

between that thing and the lighted flip down visors.....some things just need to stay in the explorer LOL


i FINALLY caved and did a OHC.

 

I got the lighted flip down visors thought with the built in Home Link. I like those.

 

what does the home link do?

 

Ya had them siting for the last few months and finally got tires for them. mine were a lot of work to sand paint and re-polish. when I got them they were pitted and corroded like crazy but with some elbow grease they look great now!

 

Truck is coming along great man. I dont even think you need the BL, it has a great stance. I miss mine now.... ha ha

 

Thanks man, under flex the rears rub some so I am still debating the lift mainly because if I lift it I can un-crank the bars some and go to the 1.5 in block in the rear, basically up 3 down 1-1.5 and it should have a good stance and have more room for the tires.
