Video Transcript for Review of K Source Replacement Mirrors - Replacement Standard Mirror - KS62165G

Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror. This side mirror is going to be a direct replacement for the year, makes, and models that you see on the screen there. And as you can see, that is a pretty lengthy the list. So this is going to fit quite a wide range of vehicles.

For those of you who do like the specifics, this is going to be a direct replacement for the original equipment number that you see on the screen there. So just to give you an extra little piece of mind that this will work with your vehicle, you can look for that number to make sure that this is going to fit, but this is modeled after your manufacturer's original look and fit.So you're really not going to be able to tell that it's a replacement mirror. It's going to look like it came with your mirror, right, or came with your vehicle right from the factory. You're not going to have to worry about having a junkyard looking vehicle like everything was pieced together. It's going to all look very integrated and seamless, so very nice aesthetic functionality there.

This does have the power remote capability so you can adjust the mirror face position with the factory power controls inside your vehicle. It's got the heated mirror glass so you can clear off the frost, ice, and reduce fogging on those chilly mornings. It's got the red LED turn arrow here so that when we turn on our turn signal that is going to light up and those are the high intensity inaudible 00:01:33 LED, so it's going to be brighter than your standard turn signals. So all the drivers around us are going to be able to see that we're intending to turn or change lanes or what have you.It does have the power fold capability. So in addition to folding in when it's struck, if you run into a pole or a garage door or something like that, it'll fold in to try and minimize the damage to the unit, absorb some of that shock, but it's also going to allow you to control that with controls inside your vehicle.

So you can fold in the mirrors if you're trying to get into a tight space or something along those lines. That way you don't have to worry about fitting them on any of those poles or anything like that. It's also got the puddle lamp up here on the bottom to illuminate the area under our mirror. So as we're getting out of our vehicle, we can make sure that we're not stepping into any puddles and ruining our nice shoes. It does have the memory function capabilities, so it's going to allow your car's computer to recognize the preset mirror position for the drivers.

So when you get in, it will adjust. So just one less thing that you have to worry about and it'll do it automatically.Now keep in mind, all of those features, the power remote capability, the heated glass, the power folding, the memory function, LED turn signal, puddle lamp, all of that is only going to function if your vehicle already has those capabilities. So if your original mirror could those things, the mirror will allow you to do that. If your original mirror did not have those functionalities, this is not going to add those capabilities to your vehicle. It will only work if your vehicle is already capable of it on its own. One thing that this mirror will not support is the auto-dimming function, so you might lose just a little bit of functionality there from your original, but overall, just about all of the same components as the original.It is made of an OE grade housing and lens, so it's going to be the same quality materials as your original. The front of the glass is plated with a reflective chrome, so we're going to get a nice clear image of everything that's coming up behind us. We've got a convex lens like most of our passenger side mirrors, so it's going to give us a wide angle view to reduce blind spots. The housing is a durable plastic housing with that slight textured black finish. You can see this cover on the back here can be painted, if you want to match your vehicle even more seamlessly. You can paint that to whatever color your original was very easy to do a nice smooth finish there. So will look nice and it's going to last awhile. It's very durable, not going to have to worry about it.As far as the installation, should be extremely simple. You can see we've got the same footprint as our original and our plugs are going to plug in just like original did, so it's really going to be as simple as taking your old one off, putting this one in it's place, and you're ready to go. Now this is just the passenger side mirror if you're needing the driver's side as well, we also have that available here at etrailer.com. You can find it using the part number that you see on the screen there.This does come with a 90 day warranty from K-Source, so it's nice to know they stand behind their product. If you have any problems, you can work with them to make sure that all that is resolved. Overall, I think this is a great mirror. If this where one of the vehicles that I own, I would definitely go with this mirror, high quality. A lot of those functions as the original. I don't think you're going to have any problems with it. I think it's going to be a good quality in there for you. That's going to complete our look at the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror. Thanks for watching.
