Do y’all have a video of how to install those tow mirrors with the turn tignals?
Super useful! Thanks! Took my son & I about 40 mins to replace the mirror and saved me about $650!
Great video. I’m switching from standard power mirrors to power towing and didn’t know where to run reverse light wires. Thanks for the details.
For anyone having trouble with the install what worked for me could work for you. I was having the problem of the lights only coming on for a bit when I press unlock on the button and what ended up being the solution after a week and a half of messing with it was the ground!! In the harness that comes with the mirrors there is a brown wire that is common/ground, what i did was tap into that brown wire and grounded the wire on the top bolt that hold the actual mirror and now everything is working as it should!
Thank you for the feedback! +Ronnie Velazquez
Had what sounds like the exact same issue. I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ. Did the same with the brown ground wire from the harness to the tie down bolt for the light itself and "vuala". Thank you for posting your resolution because it probably saved me all the headaches you had. Thank you.
WOuld this explain why the running lights and the reverse lights only work when the blinker is on?
Bingo!!!! It worked. You saved me a huge headache.
Dude you are the man..I watched the video 7 times thinking I was missing something and I just randomly checked comments to see if anyone else had same problem..thanks again for your help
She did a awesome freaking job..everything nice and clean ..
I'm confused if you spliced power and ground together on both mirrors why did you hook up both to fuses? Wouldn't one need to be grounded???
I thought the same thing, but evidently the black wire is not a ground
Nice job, what if mirrors have defrost?
You know, I just broke that same part. Tmr I’m gonna put a wire tie in the same place. Thank you 1 A auto!!
Very helpful video! Thanks for taking the time to show everything so clearly! 1A Auto all the way!
You forgot to mention which wire (color, reverse/blinker) goes into the fuse box.
Other than that you did a great job. Extremely informative and even I can understand 😅
Would have loved to see how you got that rubber boot in and out of the firewall because that's what I'm fighting now. Made it look way to easy.
+pricey 4ever3 Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for this video
It’s clear all details 👍
The best video on here
Great video my question is do you have to drill new holes for the tow mirrors if you had regular round style side mirrors prior.. also would 2014 Silverado power fold row mirrors fit a 07 they loos as if they do .?
I have a 2018 Silverado with regular mirrors and it has no blinker or reverse light. Will the tow mirror with reverse and blinker work if I plug them in or will I have to install additional wiring?
Well I successfully took my door panel off according to your instructions and got my mirror off. Note: open windows before starting. And my new (second hand) mirrors wouldn’t fit existing holes. It’s also too wide for the door so couldn’t drill new holes.
Her patience 🙌🙌👏🤣
Awesome video, Very helpful. If only the door panel went on as easily.. :(

I wired everything the way shown in the video. Unfortunately my spot lights don’t go on unless my headlights are off. I did notice that the spot lights work properly in the day but at night the headlights need to be turned off before spot lights come on. Any idea what’s going on?
See below
Did you find out what your problem was
I too didn’t have the boot behind the fuse box by the brake pedal. So I used the Parking Brake boot. Pried it open with a straight scraper tool and fished through. Not easy LOL
+Sam DeVries Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video, but I find it interesting that they are installing Tow mirrors on a truck that doesn't have a trailer hitch. Since I do have a hitch on my truck, I am wondering what fuse slots I should be using. Anyone know what size fuses are required for the backup lights and what slots to use if a hitch is already installed? Thanks
My 2013 Silverado doesn't have that boot/portal to pass the clearance/reverse light wiring through to the engine compartment. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I may have to drill a hole, get a rubber boot and some wire loom and do it myself.
My reverse spot lights only work if the blinker on that side is on when in reverse. I made sure I have the correct wires going to the right fuses. Any ideas?
I installed this part but now my front passenger side blinkers won’t work . The headlight marker lights turn on when I unlock the truck, and when I turn the hazards on just not when I turn the blinker. The marker lights, and turn signal light on the passenger side mirror doesn’t turn on either. Is there anyway to troubleshoot this? The drivers side works just fine.
I have a 2012 and when I plugged the wires into the fuse box, they worked in park and everything else. And it turns off in reverse! And I switched the wires around!
+Keagan Swenson We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I’m having same problem my blinkers work fine but the spotlights work in everything but reverse did u figure anything out with urs
If my 2007 ltz already has signal lights on the mirrors would these just be plug and play? Or do i still have to do the extra wiring?
The headlights on the truck you're working on....Do they have LED strips on them, or is it just the reflection of the headlights on the housing? Thanks in advance!
Please tell me this is better than products that are everywhere else! I'll look around in a number of other products they have like bad reviews failing lights things don't work.... How's the warranty on this product
+james guralski thank you for your question. Our towing mirrors come with a limited lifetime warranty.
Good removal and installation video using tow backup lights and parking lights. Fuse 10 is tow backup lights but fuse 25 in video is tow parking lights (not directionals).
+TheRancher03 Thank you for your feedback!
i bought the same mirrors for my 2016 tahoe they are amazing but theres only one problem the upper mirror is zoomed and i cant drive the car properly now, i want the upper mirrors but regular not magnifying or zooming is it available ?
How would you tap in to the fuse box in the engine compartment if your vehicle is equipped with the towing package? The video didn’t describe an alternative route of hooking up the wires
TheRAINMAKER98 did you ever figure it out? I have a LTZ with the towing package
@@linko90 Tap into the power wire for the backup lamps. This is going to be a light green wire that runs to that back of your truck (into a rear lamp junction box, and then to your reverse lights). They originate from the VEH BCK/UP Fuse 15- 10A fuse in the underhood fuse box. If you need help finding that light green wire, just try to follow it from your rear reverse lights up into the cabin. I can't for the life of me understand why in this video they placed the ground wire to another fuzed power slot in the box... likely the reason other commenters here are having some serious problems. I may not have watched in enough detail and missed something though.... but first glance that looks to be incorrect wiring in the video. You will want to ground out the (-) wires (black) in this video.
SilveradoGuy1989 The Black wire isn’t a ground it’s a positive for either the marker lamp or the reverse spot light, I can’t remember which one right now. The ground is connected to the ground of the turn signal plug in the window switch module. My problem I’m having is when I connect to either fuse, vehicle back up or trailer back up, or park light for vehicle or trailer The lights only come on for about 2-3 seconds when I press unlock on my remote. I’ve tried tapping straight into my reverse light and the light doesn’t come on at all and same thing with tapping the marker into my corner lamps. I’ve even tried to connect the wires straight to 12v (with fuse) and they won’t turn on at all. Again the only way I’ve got them to turn on at all is when they’re tapped into the vehicle or trailer fuse and it’s only when I unlock it. And A1 wasn’t much help, they told me to refer to this video or forums. I posted in forums and no one has responded lol so I’m glad you did.
SilveradoGuy1989 docs.1aauto.com/1AMRP01766/329008-B%20-%20Multi-Signal%20Installation%20Overview.pdf
The orange and yellow wires connect to the red and black wires shown in the video.
SilveradoGuy1989 I finally figured out the problem. It was a ground that connects to the window module. Thanks anyways I really appreciate it
Hi Thanks for the video! I just purchased the DEDC tow mirrors for 2007 - 2013 chevy silverado and took the door panels off and none of my connector are the same size or fit. It is just like the truck in this video. The stock mirrors on it now are electronic but no blinker, and my new mirrors have two boxes and the little one. One box is black and doesn't fit in the connectors that are already inside the door and one is the same size but blue. Any help would be greatly appricated
+Levi Brett We advise you order mirrors with the exact same options as your original, as these will not function properly if your vehicle does not have the same capabilities. Our mirrors are intended to be a direct plug and play replacement for the exact options listed so if they are not purchased with the same options the connectors and wiring will be different as well.
Professional service
+Charleston Sc Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Wired everything exactly the same but it all functions backwards. Reverse lights are always on and when the truck is put in reverse they turn off. Yet the DRL's on the mirrors don't even come on unless I'm locking/unlocking the truck or have emergency lights on. Any help or suggestions with this??
I have the same problem did you find a solution?
Just commenting just in case in the future I were to get this problem and I wanna know ahead of time lol
Did you fix it? It’s happening to me as well
@@adrianchimal9390 Wait no longer. There's a comment below that explains it. Splice into the brown wire in the mirror harness. It's next to the blue one. Then ground that wire to the mirror mount bolts. Just did it tonight.
Very good video and mine should be easier because no new wiring required.
Does the reverse light turn on only when you reverse ?
You can’t be serious
For the fuse connectors what kind of fuses do I need in the connector?
When I wired my tow mirror running lights for my 2011 Silverado I ordered my entire wiring kit from Boost Auto Parts. When you plug your fuse tap in you pull your factory fuse and insert it into the fuse tap and it turns on
@@parisu81 what fuses did you use?
My clearance lights do not work. Everything is wired correctly. Any suggestions on what it could be would be appreciated
Did you figure it out? Had Same problem and found fix in the comments
Does anybody knows what type of diffuse connectors does she use?
I did the same exact thing, but when i put it in reverse the clearance lights dont come on only when i manually turn on my headlights any suggestions on what i should do?

Wow good explaining,
+Leonel Hernandez Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
Love The Content Keep It Up Guys!
Why not just splice the reverse lights into the junction box that they removed to access the firewall? One of those harnesses has a 12 volt reverse wire it. Unless those harnesses are pre fuse protection?
Where can I find both door harnesses ?
Literally step by step! Amazing job!!!
When will some power folding mirrors come out? I have 2010 gmc sierra Denali and have the power folding system. Any updates on power folding tow mirros on a 2010 GMC Denali?
+Jorge Perez We do have some mirrors for a 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 with power folding. The options have to be a 100% match to your OE mirrors so we would need to know all the mirror options before locating the correct ones.
+Jorge Perez We suggest you contacting your local dealer with your VIN number and they can assist you with all your OE mirror's options. When you have that information, you can call us 888-844-3393 or email us service@1aauto.com and we can assist you with the correct replacement mirrors.
I did the same on my 2010 chevy 1500 lt an the reverse lights on when the lights are on. If i put the truck in reverse back up light cuts off. Blinkers work just fine. Daytime lights on mirrors not on either
I did it the same way she did an not luck at all
Rocky S. Del Vale I want answers same problem here
I ran the wire from the reverse light to the front. Conect them together. 2 red wires to the reverse light an the 2 black ones to the frame on truck and i have my lights working
@@RockySDelVale the reverse lights? From the mirrors or the taillights?
Love her videos!!!
Ok i instak the mirrors in my truck but the reverse lights come only if i turn on my directional or my blinker lights otherwize they are not coming on also i was wondering the blinker lights in the video looks like they are on as a runing lights my don come on unless i puss blinker botton
To answer your second question, Silverado is not wired to the mirrors for position lights. You will have to custom wire this using a resistor/ relay combo, or resistor/diode combo to achieve both running lights and blinker functionality simultaneously.
I have a issue with my tow mirror, very time I unlock my truck, the mirrors adjust itself and I have to re-adjust the mirror. Do you know why it doing that? appreciated if you can help.
Did you figure it out?
These don't have memory function. You have to disable memory recall in the control center. You can still have memory settings, but it won't adjust when you unlock the truck. The mirror will still go wonky when you push one of the memory buttons though.
Great video thanks!!!
Where can I purchase those fuse taps
I need the same exact side mirrors what are they called
+Carlos Perez We can check to see if we have the correct ones. What is the year/make/model of your vehicle? What are the stock mirror features your truck has? Thanks for checking us out!
@@1AAuto 2009 chevy Silverado 1500 2wd
How much for labor?
Did everything in this video why doesn't mines work? What fuses did y'all use on the fuse tapper??
+Eddie 405 Thanks for watching! You will want to tap into at least a 20 amp slot to get adequate power.
with linking the wires from passenger 2 driver side how do you figure out if it's left or right turn signal
The turn signal lights hook into the factory wiring
Do y’all sell the wiring by it self ?
+Cesar Lopez We do not, Thanks for checking us out!
1A Auto Parts do y’all know any places that sell the wiring ?
Hey so I did this exact wiring same fuses and everything but my leds are like backwards... they are on when car is in park, neutral, and drive but not when I put it in reverse. Any idea??
Connect the black to grown n the purple or red to the fus then it will work
Tyler Malloni did you ever figure them out?? I did the same thing with the same results as you
I did exactly what you did and they work only in park neutral and drive but when put in reverse they turn off. I have a towing packing. Is there a different way to tap in. I would appreciate the help thank you.
Zachery Markgraf did you ever figure it out? I have a LTZ with the towing package too
Hey guys- in case you are still having problems, have a look at the write up I just posted in the comment above.
They could’ve had the wire extend all the way to the mirror outside shouldn’t have to remove the whole door to get to the mirror
Brown wire ground it or it won’t work right!!!! Bullshit. If you have a how to video then do it right.
I wish it has a motor to flip
Think I’ll just trade my truck, no offense but the installers I have had contact with are just not this smart.
That is wrong the black is a grown
Because I did that n it was running light so I connected it to a truck bolt n the it was reverse light
Should’ve bought a FORD!!!
So if your truck comes with tow mirrors the power folding mirrors would only work for those that have those type of mirrors. As for the round ones that aren't tow mirrors would fit my truck but wouldn't function properly due to having a different wiring system. So if I add tow mirrors to my 2011 Chevy silverado 1500 they wouldn't function properly like it does with that truck because it's not the same wiring fuses and fuse box behind the pedals!? The OE mirrors have to match the trucks stock mirrors in order for it to work right.
+Awesome Adrian The mirrors would have to match the factory ones option for option. If there is any differences in the options the wiring and plugs will not work. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
