I changed the standard mirrors to the power extending ones on a 2010 Silverado. Dealer wanted $600 for them. I found them for around $300 at Fenderworld.com Installation was simple. 3 studs hold them in place. Just pop out the trim piece in the trucks door panel and the nuts are right there.
Wiring was simple enough. The new mirrors had LED turn indicators, power fold / extend which my old ones did not. The wiring was already there for these features. For the power fold, I had to replace the switch panel on my door (to one with the switch for the fold-out feature). I got one from a wreck for $40. Basically plug and play into the standard factory harness.
Tip: The electrical connection point for the mirrors is behind the power window switch panel on the door. Tie a piece of string to the wire when you remove the old mirrors. It will make fishing the wires from the new mirror a lot easier (At least on mine).
