So my Raptor don't have the turn signals or reflectors on them. I have run across a set on craigslist with the signals and the reflectors on them, hoping I can talk them down to about 100.00 for the set. It would probably cost me more than that to buy the parts and the time invested to do the mod. So I would think it would be a pretty straight forward swap, I'm sure there will be some wiring I need to do. Anyway my main question is, on my mirrors there are the painted caps on them, the ones I am looking to buy are not. So how hard is it to change the painted caps from one to the other. Thanks

Since you do not have the reflectors on yours with the painted cap, you might need to do some cutting / modding for it to be done. Can you post pics of a mirror without reflectors? Don't think I've seen one.

Here are a couple of pictures from my truck, and the ones I am looking to buy.

When you pop the mirror off and unscrew the screws holding the whole thing together you can slide the painted cap off. Other than that all you should have to do is wire up the turn signals which shouldn't be hard with some patience.

Do your current mirrors have the reflector delete pieces? I'd swap those to if they are. Or use the reflectors to make a front facing turn signal since you'll already have it apart and wiring things up.

Okay thanks, yea I am going to wire up the front for turn signals if I get those mirrors

Can't beat that deal either. $100 for the pair seems like a steal for new mirrors

Really didn't know they sold raptors without turn signals and reflectors in 2013. Although it looks like someone did the reflector delete mod.
