I have never actually had a power mirror stop working!
Thx, I will install for now and see how they work out.
----------------
I did a little work on the Grille, installing the Raptor Lights, not the usual kits, this is something I put together.
I looked at the Bar Grille I installed, thought, Self... ya Boss, how do I mount three lights in this grille that will hold together, not weaken the grille, and look ok.
I m not really looking for the Raptor look but you get the idea, three light, the same spacing as the clearance light on big trucks.
I decided to use some 7/8" flat aluminum stock, drilled the three holes in it and centered on the bar grille.
As I see it, the correct positioning of the lights on the grille is centered and 1.5" below the hood edge, so I marked the grille so the lights end up centered on the grille going across the truck and as it turns out centered one of the bars, that works so I can use the bar as the mounting points.
I took the grille off the truck, marked the position based on above and positioned the holes I drilled for the lights. Marked the holes on the grille bar and cut the holes for the lights to fit through.
Drilled some holes in the aluminum bar stock one on each side of the light mounting holes, marked the bars on the grille, drill some holes and Pop Riveted the bar to the grille.
Painted things black, got some paint on the grille, no biggy hoping to paint it anyway.
Right now the Grille is on the truck, I installed it to use it to position holes so the lights and wiring can go through the radiator support and then the wiring begins !
Thinking of using the Grille Lights and the new Running/Directional Lights as daytime running lights... any thought ?
As I have said, Audio is in and the sound is good, SirusXM is setup, sound is good, Apple Play is working and interesting, Siri works... I like that; Headlight aren't here, Mirrors are started.
