You see blue lights in the pic? Good eyes. I actually did get pulled over a few years ago. No ticket, but I did swap out the bulbs to white.
Took me a few years to find an HD hood and grill for a reasonable price. I like the look so much better then stock.

For sure. Indigo is one of my favorite colors. How much did the hood and grill set you back?

Ugh!!! I ran the VIN and was reading thru the options the truck came with new and guess what was listed (Yet we're not on the truck when I bought it)? Power folding mirrors! They're over $300 new. Damn the luck!!!

Think I paid $200? It's been a few years since I bought them. If you're looking for a hood and grill, look for 2000-2002 HD Silverado.
You can always buy a used set from someone parting one out, or even from a junkyard. I think I paid $60 for a set.
Can you post a pic of the driver side master window switch. If yours came with it you'll be able to tell--unless someone swapped that out too.
If you want to, also post a Pic of your rpo tag.
I have noticed there are a few RPO codes that list things like mirrors with power fold. In my case it lists rain since wipers but mine is not equipped with it.
I think that a few codes are generic. The code for my mirrors is the same code for Escalade but Escalade came with puddle lights and my Yukon did not have puddle lights.
So i think some things like puddle lights, power fold mirrors, rain since wipers are part of a package. The RPO code means you get mirrors or what ever, the package determines what mirrors.

Among other things, GM really confuses me with their models features and available options

Yes, I'll get a pic tomorrow. What's the difference? An add on button for the folding open/close?

Never mind. I found the answer. There's gonna be a mirror symbol in the middle of the direction pad for the mirrors. Like this. I'll look in the morning. I didn't notice before when I had the door panels out

Keep in mind this switch can easily be swapped out too. That's why I asked about your rpos.

Yes agreed. If whoever bought em and was thorough they would have grabbed that with em. Esp since he was parting out the truck. When I was still driving my '02 I had planned to get the Escalade power folding button assy that goes in place of the 4WD/2WD button assy on the dash. I might get the newer '05 version and use that if my window button assy doesn't have it. I don't exactly need a 2WD/4WD selector button assy in mine

And good news: doesn't appear there's gonna be any issues getting the 2WD driveshaft to work with the 4WD rear end. Trans side is obviously not a problem cuz it's the same driveshaft that was on it before. Length looks good. U-joints are the same.

FYI--Even if your Tahoe never came with the power fold mirrors they can easily be added. I did it with my 03.

I have a set from an 04 that I MIGHT consider selling. No puddle lights. Built in turn signals.

Well it seems as tho I do have the button assy for it. Even tho pretty much all the white has worn off. I'm thinking about just using my '02 mirrors for now. I think I've figured out how to wire most of it. I know I can make the blinkers work cuz those were added anyway. But mine have everything but power folding and are already color matched white. And then use those until I can afford the ones that have power fold, auto-dim, defrost/heated, blinkers, and puddle lights. I haven't found those for less than $300

That powerfold button is backlit.
