I see top auto sport has power fold mirrors said to be compatible with 03-06 Yukons with compatible features. At $650. I can’t justify it. On Amazon sooner has the same mirrors said to be power folding at $320 but they are for 03-06 gmc sierra. I’ve tried to do all the research and it seems they should be directly compatible via plugs and I can’t tell if there are different pin locations on the same blue and black plugs. Any help is appreciated.

If you figure this out, please share. I have been looking for something like this for 5 years. And, as you can imagine, $650 is a bit rich for my blood too.

Do you have a link for the sooner mirrors? Every set of power mirrors I've seen are powered except for extending and folding. But they are still power mirrors...

Yes. Towing Mirrors Switchback Lights for 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Silverado Sierra Tow Mirrors Power Fold Switchback Light https://a.co/d/9baSzr3
Did you actually get a set of these? Every entry indicates manual folding, except for the set painted read (which seems weird to me). Just wanting to make sure. Thanks!

No. I did not actually get them, yet. I haven’t pulled the trigger and I am considering the blackpaint or chrome of this style. If I do get the red ones I will update the thread and my intention would be to vinyl wrap them black.

I went back and looked at the mirrors again. Looks like, out of the 4 options, I managed to order the only one that did NOT power fold. <sigh>

I also have a friend that is about to get in the business of providing these mirrors. He hasn't finished beta testing, but they are coming.

There were 3 available around the time you first replied. (In Red) then 2 then only one left. I also found a seller on eBay that has only chrome capped ones with a chrome style marker lights for 330, also a gentleman that had bought one of the last three power fold functioning red mirrors has left a video and review! I pulled the trigger on the red ones and will update and upload a video on YouTube possibly. The mirrors I found on eBay have the 03-06 Yukon as compatible.

Not sure if this question was asked specifically, but Sierra mirrors are the same as Tahoe and Yukon. I added the powerfold mirrors to mine, which it originally didn't come with it. So they can be added if it didn't originally come with them.

For me, it is Power Fold tow mirrors. My friend is actually going to make them powerfold and power extend/retract.

Yah I imagine with an assembly part from the original 2015 and up mirrors can be integrated in the non motorized knuckle. I wish him the best with his endeavor. It makes sense to me that the Amazon power fold mirrors aren’t advertised for Yukons but at the end of the day why not just have a bigger buyer range.

Yeah my 04 Yukon has power fold stock. These mirrors I listed are generally for pickup trucks as far as advertised and top auto sport wants 700 and boost auto is or was less but for 335 on Amazon for the same mirrors made in the same warehouse I’d say it’s a great deal. Power fold is a luxury I won’t go without.

One of the biggest problems is having enough buttons. Another is that most power tow mirrors are tilted. Thirdly, you need to have a 2 piece arm, typically, to reduce/eliminate vibration. As far as I know, he's solved for everything, but I'll be in his beta test at the end of July.

Once these are available, I can post back. Question: Should I place in the good deal spotters thread?
