I guess I volunteer as tribute. I've ordered the power folding mirrors, door switch, Boosted Grey Goose harness, and Forscan cable. I haven't found anyone posting that they've successfully done this on a Lightning yet, but I figured with all the switchgear and mirrors being shared parts with the ICE F150s that it should work, though I might end up with some expensive color matched mirror caps. Like other people have mentioned, It's just a pain to get into my garage without this feature, so this jumped to the top priority on the mod list.

how much were the mirrors? I've been looking on ebay but no one has a dual set of rapid red's available. I do see that two places sell painted caps for ~400 bucks.

I bought the door switch and boosted harness already, just waitin to find some mirrors at a somewhat decent price.

Mirrors were $450 each, so right around $1k with tax for both. That's quite a bit cheaper than what I've been seeing, so I went ahead. They're painted in Avalanche. All the others that I've seen with all the features (BLIS, 360, etc.) were like $800 each, and I saw one set of chrome ones for $1300, but they were gone before I decided to get them. The seller on ebay that I bought them from had them listed as taillight assemblies, and they had the color listed as "Avalanch" which maybe helped me out by reducing the traffic on them.

it will depend on your door harness, but really simple.

I had already upgraded my door harnesses for the remote entry (on a pro with tow tech) to the i believe XLT version of keyless entry (not lariat) so i was quite close

but you need the power fold mirrors the door control switch, and or potentially the wires if needed.

I have some video when doing mine from awhile ago ill see if I can dig up. bright ideas to be helpful but much more annoying to edit and publish. I only had to pull wire from the door connector for the electrochromic mirror. the others are for the DDM/PDM to the top plug super simple. I can probably re-lookup the pins i used if you want to do it cheaper than BGG designs
