3rd Gen - Side Mirror HELP

I'm wondering if the side mirrors are different between year 1996 to 2002 4Runner. Thanks in advance for your help.

you konw, i do believe the mirror changed VERY slightly in shape because of 96-98 owners complaining about mirror wind noise. there is a tsb on it too. check all data and you may be able to pinpoint the year.

if you are looking for a replacement mirror, just buy your same year. be safe, not sorry

Thanks alot guys! special thanks for JC1KZ for the confirmation. I'm trying to purchase a used side mirror and do a little modfication on the mirror in order to place my IPF 924 search light around.

Thanks again!

actually, the plugs for the "electric" vs the "electric & heated" are different...

best to just stick w/ what you have...
