Great to hear! It’s my favorite mod and people will notice something is different too and start asking you how they can get them on their truck!

how did you hook those up ?
Could you help me out. Is there a difference between the front and rear door handles. Then wiring, how did you hook them up and how may wires are there on the handles. Some on ebay i see 3 wires and some i see 5. More information on this mod would be wonderful as i am trying to do thisGuess I missed this. Here you go.

The front handles are the five wire. Rear are the three wire. There’s a ground wire and one for the handle led. The other wires are for the keyless access.
As far as the wiring goes, the challenge is getting the puddle lamp circuit to the handles. If you already have the puddle lamps in the front mirrors, that circuit is in the front door harness and landed in the mirror connector. You can splice into it and run to the handle connector. BTW, the Escalade handle connectors were keyed different from my Yukon’s. You can either shave off the keyed part on the door harness side with a razor blade, replace it with the correct connector or just swap in front and rear Escalade door harnesses like I did. You’ll have to get the puddle lamp circuit landed in the body side of the rear door connectors. I spliced into the gray/green striped puddle lamp circuit wire in the body harness along the lower door sill on each side. That’s it in a nutshell.

Just looked on A1Auto. They sell a pair without the bells and whistles new unpainted for $335 https://www.1aauto.com/2015-17-mirror-pair/i/1amrp01665
Since my LS has nothing in it, this is probably the way to go for me. Eventually I will need to work with someone on this forum that knows the upfitters guide so I can get the power fold working. Its probably the only thing I would really like. But the bigger mirrors will be an improvement.

Those are not the bigger ones we are talking about....
Hey guys just bought a 17 SLT. Looking to upgrade the mirrors too mine has heated turn signal blind spot puddle light and auto dimming driver side. I can't seem to find a good place to buy them other then eBay and can't find driver side ones. Lol.
Where did you buy urs from? How much where they? And does Escalade. Come in summit white (pure bright white not the Tanish white)? Let me know guys thanx.
Also haven't looked on here yet but anyone with some good led light upgrades brand and pictures and Kelvin color??

Having same problem with blind spot in driver side mirror on my 2018 Denali. I am assuming a '17 mirror will fit on an '18 . Looks like the best prices are on Ebay and will check out the Escalade mirrors at the dealer this week before ordering.
Do the mirror "caps" come off to paint or do the mirrors need to be painted before installing ?

Yes, they will fit. The caps do come off. The best functional mod I’ve done.

Matt, thanks for the info. Will order them today. Any tips on taking the "caps" off?
This is a great thread and I look forward to eliminating the blind spot. Came close twice to pulling into a car I didn't see. I have the mirrors turned out as far as they will go but it won't eliminate the blind spot. Blind spot warning light not to be trusted.......

Where did you find them for that price? Seems really reasonable.

Here’s a video that @pgamboa did.
I realize he’s working on a truck mirror, but the concept is the same. I believe the mirror cover clips are in the same place on the Escalade caps. Just spaced out a little since it’s a larger cap.

Mirrors arrived yesterday, nicer than I imagined . It looks like they are Crystal White Tricoat which is close to my White frost Tricoat, might not have to repaint them. Extra door clips on the way. Great thread and can't wait to install them.

Look great. Did you have to replace any door clips?

I actually didn’t. There were a few on pass side that part of the top clip broke off. I rotated and re-used.
I would say when I change door speakers I probably will have to change some clips at that time.
Best chance of success is pulling deliberately and somewhat quickly. I was able to start at the panel nearest the hinges and work my way around. Seemed to go best.
One other thing-the upper door trim needs to come off as well. When installing make sure you get the weatherstripping back right—it goes over the trim piece.
It is not hard, and makes more sense when you do it.

Well, back to ebay. The mirrors are beautiful, great price but didn't realize that they do not have "Blind Spot" , do everything else but not that. Sending them back , bought two more for $100 more but with the Blind Spot and also "white". I overlooked that thinking all would have it. Door clips arrived but it will be next week before the new mirrors will get here. Need to read the discription more carefully next time..... got too excited but no sense eliminating the blind spot and saving a $100. At my age , I need all the help I can get!!!

Well, the new mirrors arrived today. Nice chip out of the driver's side but they do have "blind spot" warning. But , to my chagrin , they are missing the puddle lights and one camera....
Perhaps this upgrade is not meant to be. Any idea if the puddle lights from the stock Denali mirrors will fit the Escalade housings? Happy with the blindspot but the puddle lights would be nice.
I failed to realize that there were so many options on the 15-17 Escalade mirrors. No writing of any kind on the passenger mirror. Looks like I'll have to buy an Escalade if I want the mirrors...
