Install of 2013-14 heated/pony projector mirrors

So I wanted the comfort pack on my 2013 Mustang when I got it, however they did not have one in the color I wanted with it so I did without. After doing a little research I discovered that my 2013 Mustang Gt had the wires for the Mirrors and pony projectors. I call Tousley Ford up and Ordered a pair. $325.00 Shipped

SO on to the install. The tool required is an 11MM wrench and 8" flat tip screw driver

First roll your windows down and adjust both mirrors all the way down.

Once that is done pull on the top corner of the cover panel with your fingers and you will notice a small gap appear. pull this cover off.

Disconnect the gray plug from the mirror adjust switch and set the panel aside to reveal the mirror plug and 3 11mm nuts.

Reconnect the gray plug and snap the cover panel back onto the door. Now all you need is to get your outer mirror cap onto your new mirror. this is why you need to move your mirrors all the way down so that you can access the 4 taps. You can remove the glass assy to make it easier. this is what it looks like with the assy installed.

once the glass assy is removed you can get to the four tabs. 3 along the top and one on the bottom inboard side. (the picture below is upside down)

The passenger side is the same except you don't have to worry about the mirror adjust switch.

Probably because the connector wasn't already in the mirror ready to be plugged in.

Anyone know if the wiring is there on the V6 cars? I'd really like heated mirrors...and that isn't a bad price to get them.

If your car is 2013+ then the wiring should be there. My friend did it on his 2013 V6 and it was plug and play.

Nice. It's a 2014 (on order). Good to hear this can be done cheap, I love heated mirrors.

The pony lights come on when hitting the unlock button on the remote or when opening the door

Heated mirrors work off the rear defroster button

I wouldn't rig it so the pony projectors are on for an extended period of time, like with the parking lights. the heat sink is subsantial because they get REALLY hot when they're on. if you rig it up that way they will likely fail prematurely and you will be replacing them pretty often.

My friend has a base GT and it works on his. Quick way to check is to pull the cover on the drivers door off and see if you have four or seven wires going to your mirror. If it's seven it should work.

I know some may think the projector mirrors are a joke but I like them. Good write-up.
