Default 98 f250 towing mirror upgrade

i recently bought a 2008 f250. It came with the small mirror. I want to upgrade to towing mirror. My existing ones are power only. No heat or turn signals. I am have a hard time finding only power option in the towing mirrors. Will the ones with the heat and turn signals be compatible with my truck?

Compatable meaning all the features would work?

The cornering/turns should be present at the connector. If/when the drivers mirror head is removed, check for circuit function ops there with a 12v test light or meter on the Brown/green wire on the connector. Lamp functions come from the Smart Junction Box.

Mirror heat,, you can check for circuit protection/fuses in the Battery Junction Box (fuses 28 -20amp, 23-15amp) and that the Heated Mirror Relay is present. And again at the mirror head connector (defrost/heat selected on the panel ) on the brown/yellow wire.
The heated function is controlled by the SJB as well as the EATC/EMTC. If the fuses or relay are missing, it may not be hardware equipped for heating ops..

If the feature was there with the OE mirrors, it will be available on the TT mirror upgrade..
