Video Transcript for Hands-On with the K-Source Custom Flip Out Towing Mirror

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the K Source Electric Driver's Side Custom Flip Out Towing Mirror, with heat and turn signal.Now this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2013 and newer Dodge Ram and Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show you if this'll work for your application.Now this is an extendable towing mirror, which will replace the driver's factory side view mirror on your vehicle. So there's no need for any snap on or strap on mirrors that you constantly have to put on and take off. This has a nice flip out function, makes it very easy to see around the side of your trailer, so that you can safely change lanes, pass and park. All you have to do is just rotate the mirror like that to the outside, and that'll extend your line of sight by about four and a half inches. And then when you're not towing, just push the mirror right back into place.It does have power mirror adjustment to operate the mirror right here, let you change your mirror face position with the factory control inside your vehicle.

This does offer heated mirror glass, which will clear frost and ice and reduce fogging. This section over here, this is a built in spotter mirror. It is a manual adjustment on that. The spotter mirror helps reduce blind spots. You notice on the corner right here, this is an amber light that'll flash when the turn signal's activated.

And on the very bottom of this mirror, there's a puddle lamp, which will illuminate the area under the mirror.This is a hinge design, so it does allow you to fold the mirror up against the vehicle for parking or for fitting into tight spaces. You notice it's all in a nice durable plastic housing, has a nice textured black finish to it, and it is custom fit for your vehicle. It is a simple no drill installation. If you notice right here it has the same footprint and mounting points as your factory mirror. And the mirror will plug into your existing electrical wiring.

Also includes the mounting nuts when you go to install it.Now this part number is for the driver's side mirror only. A few specs on this, the mirror face dimensions on the main mirror, going to be looking at seven and a half inches wide, seven inches tall. The spotter mirror, the widest point is going to be about three inches wide. And the heighth on the spotter mirror is about six and three-quarter inches tall.Now the overall length of this mirror on how much it sticks out, when it's folded in like this from here to here's going to be 18 inches. And when you flip it out it's going to add that four and a half inches, so from here to here is 22 and a half inches.

This mirror is federal motor vehicle safety standard approved. And a few notes on this, is the power remote capability, heated glass, turn signal and the puddle light of this mirror will work only if your vehicle already has those functions and also this mirror does not support the power folding function.But that should do it for the review on the K Source Electric Driver's Side Custom Flip Out Towing Mirror, with heat and turn signal.
