SUBTLE 2023 UPGRADE? SMOKED?

[marksouth]

Did you find them in stock somewhere recently?

I ordered from BAM Wholesale Parts.com. It said "in stock", but they were drop shipped from somewhere else, so it took several days before they actually shipped. I think it was about a two week+ wait on them once I ordered.

It is crazy how such a minor thing makes such a huge difference.

These look great. Getting my truck paint matched and would like to do this before… You got part numbers?

I’m curious if anyone with a 2023 and tow mirrors can provide a pic. It would be nice if that had the smoked lenses as well.

You can get two types of smoked replacement lenses for the tow mirrors from BoostAuto. One set is a switchback LED the other is just a tinted factory replacement. They also make heat blind spot glass too for the tow mirrors.

Dodge Ram LED Switchback Mirror Lights

These are drop in replacement switchback marker lights for the Fourth 4th and Fifth 5th generation Ram mirrors. These will illuminate as a white LED strip during running light mode, and flash as an amber LED strip during signal mode. They are offered with a smoked or clear lens, and the included...

Just did mine today and of course cracked my passenger side mirror a little smh. Does anyone know the part number for the passenger side heated mirror glass with blind spot indication? The dealer gave me one part that is different than the one I found online (68484444AA) so just want to double check. Thanks as always!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just as an aside…the part number you listed (68484444AA) has the “objects in mirror” printed in Arabic so that probably woulda looked a little funny!

I’m such an ass. Just did the same thing, I’m so thankful for all the members on this forum. Despite their making me spend so much money on this truck ….

Swapped mine out a few weeks ago and the passenger side glass was much tougher to get off. I reinstalled everything and now the passenger glass vibrates at speed. I took it back apart to see if anything was broken/bent but don’t see anything.

Any suggestions?

 

[Hemy5587]

After I saw it I couldn't unsee it but I couldn't bring myself to remove the mirrors again after cracking the passenger side while installing the painted mirror caps. The tint went on fairly easy, it was precut from Amazon, a little solution sprayed to position them then a little heat gun/squeegee action and voila my 2021 has 2023 mirrors. So far they have survived bugs and the car wash, 10/10 would do again.

So who hasn’t cracked their passenger side glass?

Me. And I actually had that side off and on 3 times. Once for the initial light swap, once more for a screw I forgot to put back in and one more time to switch the wires around for the blindspot monitoring light that was stuck on. I used the small 4" suction cup and pull straight back method and it worked great.

 

[OnTheReel]

I didn’t crack my glass in either of my two attempts. One for the mirror caps, one for the new lights over a year later. Suction cup works great and seems pretty safe.

That being said after the second time I did have the vibration issue @gma3748 mentioned. Mainly at highway speeds. If all the clips are seated (takes a good push), you’re pretty much left with replacing the glass. Seems like the plastic tabs can sometimes lose some strength after removal.

Side note, I used the vibration issue as an excuse to retrofit the auto-dimming feature on the passenger side.

The auto-dim glass is way stronger and easier to remove. So god forbid if I need to pull it again at least I won’t have any trouble.

I’m an idiot for forgetting to use a suction cup, something I told myself I’d use prior to doing this.

Do you have a part number and what else is needed for the retrofit?

Thanks

Factory Ram passenger side auto-dim mirror retrofit how-to!

The Limited gets this feature but the TRX did not. Unacceptable. Besides, I was running out of mods to do so it seemed like a fun little project. The mirror glass is expensive new; a bit over $200. I initially rejected this idea for that reason alone, but I found a whole entire mirror (with...
