Do you think the plastic curved light from the upper models fit my XL bare bones square 1 piece lights?

You may want to try you local bone yard!
The one here will look up your part and tell you what fits.

Alright I have been tryin to find info on tow mirror swaps. I have the non tow mirrors on my 99. I know that any of the tow mirrors will bolt up directly BUT, the wiring plug ins are different. Mine is a flat 4 plug in and the tow mirrors Im interested in are a round plug in. Any insight on this? I'd rather not do any splicing but I will if I have to. The tow mirrors i've looked at are power mirrors with no heat and manual telescoping. I can get them very very cheap. :sweet

You can just change either plug end, round or flat, to match

Look online or at a bone yard for the one you want to change.

Swap it out (re-pin) and your done! No splicing!

*If the color code is different then you will have to use a meter and some jumpers.

Is there a special tool for unpinning my connectors? I do have one for lawn and garden connectors. Dont think it would work on my truck.

Yes, They do make a tool to take the pins out of the connector.
You should be able to find it at an electronics type store (Radio Shack, Fry's, etc...)

OR

You can use a small, flat blade, screw driver.
Its tricky and you'll need some thing to hold the body.
Locate the locking tab, (either on the female pin or on the crimp itself)
Depress & pull wire at same time.
When re-installing pins make sure the locking tab is slightly bent out.

Kind of figured that. Thanks for the info! I might have to try that since Im gettin these mirrors dirt cheap. Or I can just cut the connectors off and just crimp on bullet style connectors. Only has like 3 or 4 wires.
