Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to install tow mirrors on your Dodge Ram. This is a 2008, but the procedure is the same for 2002 to 2008 Dodge Ram. You'll need new tow mirrors from 1AAuto.com, 10 millimeter socket with ratchet and extensions, number two and #3 Phillips screwdrivers, flat blade screwdriver, electrical tape, needle nose pliers, wire stripping and crimping tool, a straight pick, and a pair of pliers.
Remove the 10mm bolt in the inside edge of the door handle. Remove the door handle from the opening. Remove the #3 Phillips behind the door handle, and in this top corner, two #2 Phillips on the bottom of the panel. Lift up on the door panel to release. Then we'll have to disconnect the two connectors from the window switch.
Disconnect the connector to the mirror by pressing down on the tab on the top. Remove these three 10 millimeter knots. Make sure to support the mirror before you finish removing the bolts.
We have to pry the bug deflector up on our car. Put it behind the mirror. Work the mirror out of the door.
Here, we have our old part from the vehicle and our upgraded tow mirror from 1AAuto.com. You could see this mirror sticks out a lot more, flips up, has a panoramic mirror already installed in it. It's going to be a really good upgrade. Going to give you a lot better view of what's going on behind you, especially when you have a big trailer on the back of your truck. Bolt right in just like the factory part. Comes with an easy-to-install two wire harness so we can use this lamp as either a turn signal or a parking light.
Be sure to take the two wire connector, feed it through first, wind up your bolts. Pop the new mirror in. Make sure you use the new hardware supplied with the kit. It has a larger flange on the knot to help support the extra weight of the bigger mirror. Tight the bolts back up with a 10 millimeter socket.
Reconnect the factory connector to the mirror. Connect the two wire harness included with your kit. Unravel all the wiring. Make sure there are no loops or kinks anywhere in it. Peel back the corner of your weather shield. Send the harness down into the door, being careful not to route it anywhere near a window regulator or any other moving part that may pinch the wire and cause damage. Make sure when you run the wiring down from the mirror, go through the round hole here and not to the square hole where the latch sits. Remove the rubber boot around the wiring harness inside the door jam.
You may need a flat blade screwdriver to pry this out. Reach through. Pull those all the way through. You want to make sure when you reinstall your weather seal that the wire stays clear that square hole. Pry the other side of the rubber loom off the truck side of the door jam. Twist the ends of the wire together. Keep the wires feeding in the same place. We're going to tape the end to a thin flat blade screwdriver. Use that to send our wire through the loom, careful not to puncture any other wires. Hold your wires and pull your screwdriver back through. Feed the rest of your wiring through the loom. Lift up on the seam of the kick panel. Lift up. Pull the panel out.
Just below the parking brake pedal is this weather shield. You'll have to pop that out of the way with a pair of needle-nose pliers behind the plastic clips. Just pry them out. Fold it back until you can see where the door harness comes through. Feed the wire one at a time between the retainer and the actual wiring clips. Find that wire when it comes through on the other side. Pull that through. Careful not to make too sharp an angle when you're pulling or to shape that against any other metals. Once that's through, start the other wire the same way.
Now that you have your mirror installed on the driver's side, repeat these steps on the passenger's side up until the wiring goes through the cab. Once the wiring has been run from the inside of the door through into the passenger compartment, peel your carpet up and remove this lower panel below the cup holder simply by prying it out and placing it to the side.
Peel your carpet up that your wire's underneath. You could see that our wires aren't going to be quite long enough, so we'll use the scraps from our old harness to extend these. You want to twist the ends of the wire together nice and tight, put it in a single barrel crimp connector. Crimp that end. A little tug, make sure it's on there nice and tight. Twist the other end of the wire. Put that end on the other side of the barrel connector. Crimp it down. Make sure that you have a good tight connection. We'll reach up under the driver's side of the carpet. Feed our wires through until they reach your hand under the carpet. Pull one through, then the other.
We have a ground bolt right here on the inside of the truck. You go ahead and take that out with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Pick your ground wire, leave a little bit of slack. Cut the end off and strip the end of the wire. Twist the ends together.
Install our eyelet connector. The eyelet connector just crimps on so you got a nice tight crimp on there. Give it a little tug to make sure it's not coming off. Crimp the passenger side ground wire. Another eyelet crimp. Make sure that's not coming off.
Reinstall our ground bolt. We're going to take our wire, tape it to a sharp, straight pick. You don't want to make it too thick, but we want to make sure it's on there good and tight. I'm going to peel back the carpet a little bit, and just to the outside of our e-break cable. Send the wire down through the rubber boot. Move the pick and the rubber while holding the wire. Now, we can pull our wire through.
Make sure to leave enough slack that we can tuck it back under the carpet. Our crimp connector won't fit through, so we'll just lay it all back down under the carpet. In order to make the lights on our new tow mirrors work as running lamps or marker lights, we'll have to use the second of the white wires with the yellow tracer from the latched side of the connector. This is going to be the fourth one in from the left.
Install the double barrel crimp connector on to the wire with the leads from your mirror stacked one on top of the other. Install them into the other side of the double barrel connector. Crimp your connector with a pair of pliers. Close the safety latch over the top. After installing your wiring, turn the vehicle on and check for operation of your running lights. Push your carpet back into place. Reinstall the trim below the cup holder, the two clips in the front.
Reinstall the plastic connectors. Pull the weather shield in. Make sure your carpet is back in place. Install the front clips of the kick panel and then snap the lower portion into place. Repeat this step on the opposite side.
Reinstall the rubber wire loom on both sides. It’s maybe easier to install the loom on the inner edge if you use a hook pick. Push down on the clips and remove the connector from the cab of the truck. Even just removing it partially gives you enough room. Slide the boot back around the connector and snap it into place. Pop off the door lock bezel by pushing from the back.
Reinstall your two window switch connectors. Line up the tabs in the door panel. Slide your door panel into place. Pop the door lock bezel back into place. Reinstall your four door panel screws. Hold your screw in place for the interior handle, line it up and tighten it down.

I purchased these mirrors to replace one with a cracked housing. Prior to finding these, I had bought an aftermarket 3rd Gen mirror from the big auction site, but the quality of that item was inferior. That other mirror would vibrate when idling or at highway speeds and it distorted the image. Since these are made by an aftermarket company, I wasn't sure about the quality until they arrived.
When they arrived, I had a small issue with the plastic cap on one mirror, but 1A Auto fixed it right away.
The mirrors work great and the 4th Gen style refreshed the look of my truck. The 4th Gen mirror is much better in both design and aesthetics. It has a larger convex section which really reduces the truck's blind spots. Additionally, the turn signals are a nice safety feature for cars traveling in the lane next to you or approaching an intersection.
I rate these a five star product and also had good customer service from this company.

I replaced the non tow mirrors on my 3rd gen Ram 2500 with the upgraded 4th gen version. The mirrors are built solid and fit like theyre a factory option. I had purchased another set similar to these for a little bit cheaper and had to return them because they didnt fit at all. 1AAuto Mirrors are top notch and cant not be beat in quality and construction. Yea theyre a little more money but its worth it in the long run. The light hook up was simple and came with everything needed. All I needed were the tools and time to install them. Took me about an hour to install both mirrors and a half hour to wire up the lights. The power mirror option plugs right into the factory harness and works great. I would highly recommend these mirrors
Perfect Fit.

I have purchased several sets of mirrors from here all by the same company for multiple different trucks I have had or for gifts and not once have I had a complaint or issue with them. These mirrors are on par or better than OEM and absolutely love that they offer the 4th gen style for the 2nd and 3rd gen dodge trucks. The fit is perfect and looks like it came from factory that way.
Nice product

Installed these on 2004 Cummins and after a year, they have held up great and functioned as they should. Tied the marker light to my marker lights as they are on When I hit my switch but I know some people tie them to the blinkers as well. Mirror is steady and doesn't shake like most aftermarket mirrors. Would buy again.
Customer Q&A
Will these work on a regular 08 3500 Ram pick up? The non cab and chassis model.August 24, 2017

Yes. I mounted them on a 2006 model Ram 2500 and they fit well. Your 2008 3500 should be the same body style as mine. I was also pleased with the customer service from this company. One mirror had a defect in the plastic, and 1A Auto took care of it right away.

We may not guarantee the fitment on the non cab and chassis model due to potential sail panel differences.

Are these 4th gen style mirrors? They look as if they are in the pictures.November 8, 2017

These are an aftermarket upgrade to the Ram 4th Gen style mirrors, designed for installation on 3rd Gen trucks. The mounting base fits the 3rd Gen doors.
I have a 2006 Ram 2500 with these mirrors and was pleased to see they are a near exact match to my brother's 2016 truck. The only feature these do not have are the downward-facing LED "puddle lights" that his 2016 came equipped with.
The mirrors are steady and don't vibrate at idle or highway speeds; they seem well built. Wiring the turn signals is moderately difficult, because you have to fish a pair of wires through the doors and under the floor, but the instructions are clear and the results are nice.
