West Coast Style Mirrors

[wxmn6]

Hi,

I am curious if anybody have run this mirrors? It looks interesting to me. They are heated and powered, and even have heated convex mirrors too! Also they automatically readjust to the original position if you hit something like branch or shrub tree. I am curious if anyone have use them because I am wondering if I could use my existing vehicle mirror/heat switch, or if I need to go with their control box.

The reason I am looking at them is because I am going to be running a sander behind my truck, so I will need to rely on both my side mirrors due to blocked rear view. Visibility is a big factor when doing snowplowing & sanding, so I am looking for something to greatly improve the visibility. There will be alot of backing up involved. The factory OEM mirrors do look nice, but they just are a bit too small.

Ive seen that setup, but Ah just seems like it could be problem prone. Personally I find west coast mirrors to be a huge hindrance snowplowing....stick out pretty far, catch branches, branches dump snow on truck etc etc. They stick out really far, And if you hit something with the supports for the mirrow, might as well figure on buying a new door. I plow with the stock mirrors too, they arent the greatest, but have a better breakaway feature. Bill
