I like to use factory connectors on my swaps just in case the mirror needs to come off in the future for any reason. Makes it fast and easier then cutting and repairing the hardwired version of the swap, IMO. The Ford pieces arent cheap and don't come with all of the pieces you need to make the swap complete into the older guys. Of course you will still need to splice into the electrical harness in the truck. :nod:

These are the part numbers for the connector in the above picture from Ford. The flat rectangle gets plugged into the harness of the 03-07 tow mirror. The round plug controls the actual mirror functions and that get plugged in the harness that is in the older truck's door. The black connector is for the defrost and ground wires for the mirror.
This picture shows the grey plug which doesn't have enough pins to make the swap complete. You will have to add some pins to the connector to make the swap complete.
These are the Ford OEM pins that where very hard to find here in Houston. I finally found the right 1s from K&N distributors. I was more then glad to buy the box once I had found them.
These are the Ford connectors for the deforst/ground wire combination. Once all of these guys are installed you can remove the mirror by unsnapping the 1 gray connector. I am gathering all of the right color/size wiring right now to complete this swap. I will post the pics of the splice points in the truck's harness here in the very near future as I am doing this swap right now.
