I noticed the other day that I lost the turn signal in my Sierra's driver's side tow mirror (these are the older ones that came on the NBS / 'Classic' trucks, and mine is probably a knockoff, as I'm pretty sure it came with the stock 'paddle' type). But mine do have the signals & heaters. Here's a generic image, for review:
Anyway, from what I can tell, the lamp is an LED module. Anyone know if these are repairable? I'm guessing I'd probably break the assembly trying to take it apart, and then I'd be looking at new mirrors, anyway. TBH, I'd probably look to 'upgrade' to the NNBS (08-13) style, although I know they'll be 'upswept', compared to the older style (maybe I could shim them -?)
I tend to move the mirrors to their extremes when I take the truck in / out of the garage, and did so recently, so maybe I stressed (?) a wire or something. Again... I haven't seen too much online about 'repairing' the signals, so I'm not confident about my ability to repair this one.
TIA for any replies / insight.
