Post a picture of the power leads so others know what to do. As said, I don't have power mirrors but the newer JKs do. I still stand by my opinion that using stock mirrors in the stock location is the best rear view doorless option. With or without doors, you will look at the same spots for mirrors and still have the same depth perception to judge distance and relative approach speed.
Apparently, my post was filled with fail. Clearly, I didn't pay attention to the warning that this would not work with power mirrors. The power lead is very tight, not much give at all. This is what I get for posting while drinking and brainstorming, lol. I agree that the die techs are the best option, I'll probably just keep them and try to find a cheap second pair to mount to the die techs. On to my next post, "where to find cheap mirrors"

I think this is the way to do it.

That is ten kinds of badass. I need. Any details? Are they integrated into the light bar or are they separate and attached? I'm getting a Gobi so I'd like to use these on that.

Get the Dietechs with some cheap-o factory replacement mirrors off amazon for extremely quick swap time between doors and door-less mirrors.

Found 'em: Liquid Iron Industries mirror bracket package. I guess you have to tell them it's for a JK so they can make the passenger side longer so it's viewable.

I use the Rugged Ridge mirrors, they work great, look nice and I leave them on all the time.

Rugged Ridge Quick Release Mirrors (Black Pair) - Jeep JK & TJ Wrangler '97-12 : Amazon.com : Automotive
I thought the field of view on the Rugged Ridge quick release mirrors was so small that it was not worth using them.

These look big enough to actually be useful.
