I got to replace a passenger side mirror of my '08 Edge SE. I think that this is good chance of update my side mirror with blind spot mirror(new edge's mirror). I have few questions before i place the order for side mirror.

1) can I use '10 ford edge mirror (with blind spot mirror) for my '08 model?
2) can I do it myself?
3) how much it will cost me? (I am at NJ, USA)

yes you can do it yourself

use the search function and search for topics on changing out blindspot mirrors. many people did it. there are several threads, IIRC 1 really good big thread on this very topic, and it has part #'s, places to order, cost, etc... no reason to try to rehash it all in a new thread when the data exists on it already in existing threads.

Do you need just the glass or the entire mirror?

Hey tpm419419,

I can only tell you that you can certainly use the built in convex mirror on your vehicle. Changing out just the glass is easy. I replaced my glass from my '07 with the newer type glass which became standard equipment in the '09 year. I cannot help you however with changing the mirror housing out. First (even with just changing out the glass) you need to know if you have heated mirrors which I think also means you will have the puddle lamps (under the mirror housing that shine to the ground)
You need to find out if you can just change the glass or need to replace the entire housing

Good luck

so, if you must replace the whole unit, that means you must have damaged it somehow? because there would be no other reason to not just replace the glass which is detailed on this site elsewhere

as for finding those/a thread.. in that thread it will discuss the heated versus not heated mirrors, part # differences, etc

here is one of the main threads I found with a simple search

that answers 1 question right in the last post "I work for a big Ford dealership in Phoenix. The integrated mirrors are about $85ea, and will snap right in to all Edge's. Just go into your local parts department and ask for mirrors from a 2010 Edge " - so you could stick a whole entire unit - mirror and housing - right on there. and then you could do the drivers side mirror glass only if you wanted. that being said, not sure if anyone has detailed changing an entire unit like they have detailed changing just the glass.
