Every car I ever own will have a pair of these. They are SO handy.
Amazon. Here's a link
Hahaha. Dogs in shoes are hilarious to watch try and walk. I would have clicked on it too. But thank you!
And yes it is. Got it on amazon.

It's hard to say just how much it weighs, but I used to have an 8' older popup that weighed about 800lbs. I pulled it with a 4 cylinder truck.
beat me to it, my buddy has these mirrors on his sierra and they look awesome!

I did 2008 mirrors from amazon, they fit fine but I did have to cut a small plastic tab off. I haven’t tried to wire them up yet because I’m a lazy bastard. Amazon Mirrors on my truck

This is about that particular lock, there are better ones out there. This one on Amazon looks like it's built better, though I'm not sure how easy it is to pick.

It depends if it's a flat 4 pole or circular
They're pretty standard on smaller vehicles
Just a fyi though if you have electric brakes on the trailer it will not control them
Usually you can hard wire them to the vehicle's existing brake wiring.
Sorry for your loss. I now the feeling. Had somebody smash into my mirror on my 07 last year. Competely obliterated the thing in front of my own house, and they couldn't be bothered to knock on my door or leave a note.
Here are power mirrors for $108. There is a manual version for $85.
Also, here are competely manual mirrors, but with turn signal, clearance lights, & defrost for $145.
I bought a curt plug-and-play wiring kit for my GE8 and install took maybe 20 minutes with no cutting. Also ignore the towing remarks that you're getting. The fit can easily tow and stop ~1000 gross trailer weight. Just make sure the tongue weight is reasonable and the load is centered and level.
I use these guys and really like them. Easy to install, sturdy, and adjustable enough. My only complaint while towing is that with these attached sometimes the entire mirror blows in. I need to figure out how to tighten it up.

Oh cool! I'm interested to know if the 50 VIP also has the unused green and black wire connector in the handlebars that I use for accessories on my 150. If so, it has an impossible-for-me-to-find molex connector so I snipped it off and cut one of these in half and crimped it on as a replacement.
Your scooter might actually be able to run on those batteries ;-)
> It seems like the connection has more than 4 pins - but it's in pretty rough shape. Anyone know what kind of connection this is?
Looks like a 7/8 flat trailer connector, the 8th socket is likely dead as it's not used in North America. The 4 with the 3 sockets and 1 pin will likely be your standard 4 wire trailer connection. The other 4 are most likely for reverse, brake and +12 VDC with the 8th one being dead.
 
With how beat up this connector looks, dragged and corroded, I would have it replaced with a sealed 4 and 7 pin housing, EX https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-Towing-Solutions-47185-Multi-Tow/dp/B0002Q80GS, the flat 4 and round 7 are the North American standards used.
 
Since this the first time pulling any major weight have the receiver inspected to make sure that none of the bolts or supports are rusted out.
Sounds like an adapter for wiring a 4 wire trailer plug from the cars tail light circuit.

Is there a tow hitch on the vehicle or signs that there was?

I have a bunch of lights on my Forester, and have always afraid to pull the trigger on pillar lights. I don't like the idea of drilling into the body.
Maybe you could do custom work with something like this? or maybe these?
I'd check out r/lightbar for more ideas too
I bought a cheap pair off of Amazon and they are ok but not great I am probably going to get the oem replacement mirrors in a few months but they are a little pricy.
Where do you want them delivered?

Trailer harness plugs
You can find two pin plugs as well. I used one for a simple fan in an old computer.
Best yet is they are made to seal well, and rated for several amps at 12 volts.

Got one of those for my Newfie, he's fat ass is too tubby to haul himself in without it. Might help
We actually bought a 13 pin and 7 blade housing and did it ourselves because nobody makes a harness like that.

We didn't use the 4 pin on the second link. Just cut it off. Assuming you haven't already wired up the brake controller, you need to tap into the red and black wire for the brake pedal and recommend a posi tap for that.
Good luck!
Good point, there really is no substitute for looking back. If you really want to, i bet you could still fit something like this 2" by 2" stick on mirror in case your local laws require you to have mirrors.
