Best Custom Towing Mirrors for 2013 Ford F-150 With Puddle Lamps

Question

Question:

2013 Ford F150 4x4 King Ranch It appears the CM11800 would be a good fit, however the OEM mirrors have puddle lamps in the bottom of the housing. With these lights, is the CM 11800 the best one to use?

Expert Reply:

The best custom towing mirrors for your 2013 Ford F-150 with puddle lamps are the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS81810 because these mirrors have cutouts that allow you to use those lamps. The accompanying photo is one that was sent in by a customer showing how the mirrors fit with puddle lamps (please note that these mirrors will not fit OEM extendable mirrors).

The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11800 are also a good fit for your 2013 F-150 like you said, but if you want to retain the use of your puddle lamps the best option will be the K-Source.

I've added a link to a video review of the K-Source on a '13 F-150 for you to check out as well.
