Ok I have a 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty that does not have factory tow mirrors installed. The mirrors that are on my truck have power adjustment but no turn signal nor heat. I would like to replace with OEM style F-250 mirrors, but retain the power control. I have been looking at these Click Me. They say they have power control and are direct OEM replacements. Just want to make sure before I spend $150 these will work for me.

I can't say for sure.
I do know that the factory tow mirror accessory kit comes with the necessary wiring harness adapters to make them work.

yes; if yours are only power, and the one linked is only power, you should be good to go...
send the seller a message and ask as well; that way if 'no fit' you can return on their dime...

If the product picture is correct, I would not buy those. They are the older style that only swings one way. The newer style swing both ways, which prevents breaking them if something happens.
Also, you can get a kit to retro-fit the newer '08 mirrors to your '05, and they have much larger glass and a better convex lower glass. They bolt right up and plug in.
I can show you some links if interested.

These guys have a good selection:
Side Mirrors at 1AAuto.com
They even have a video showing how to swap them out.

Yeah at twice the price. From what I read if the stock mirror didn't have turn signals and heat they wont work on new mirrors.

If you go to Fordforums or superduty forums there are step by step proceedures to upgrade your mirrors on the fords.
You can put the 99-07 mirrors on your SD withoug issues. The 08 up mirrors require some re-wiring to get all the funtions of "electrics" to work.
Meaning. On the newer mirrors they are electric out and fold, with electric adjustment and heat.
On my 03 it only has heat and adjust. So I would have to add switches and wiring to make the fold and extend to work.
If you don't want to put the Electric fold and extend, and only want the mirrors with Heat and adjust, it only requires splicing the wiring.
Honestly my 03 tow mirrors work just fine and plenty of view plus it has the built in convex mirror at the bottom. The convex mirror is manual adjust, but the upper is power with heat. You have to get out and push them in or out, but who really cares, it takes two seconds.

FYI, the mirrors you are looking at look exactly like my ford factory mirrors. Also,
the F250/350 with towing mirrors are dime a dozen in junk yards. They are most likely cheaper. But if his are new, that's a good deal.
