Frequently Asked Questions About International LoneStar Mirrors & Acc.
Will these mirrors fit my specific year International LoneStar, and what about the ProStar models?
Most aftermarket mirrors for the International LoneStar are designed to fit model years 2008-2020. However, there are slight mounting differences between early models (2008-2010) and later models (2011-2020). ProStar models use different mounting brackets and are not directly compatible with LoneStar-specific mirrors. Always verify the exact model year compatibility in the product description, as some mirrors require specific mounting adapters for certain years.
Are these mirrors heated and power-adjustable like OEM, or will I lose those features?
This varies by product. Premium replacement mirrors typically maintain all OEM features including power adjustment, heating, and integrated turn signals. However, some economy options may be manual-adjust only. Check the product specifications carefully - heated mirrors will specifically mention "heated" or "defrost" capability, and power mirrors will list "motorized" or "electric adjustment." If maintaining these features is important, look for mirrors labeled as "OEM replacement" rather than "universal fit."
How difficult is the installation, and will I need to drill new holes or modify my door?
Most direct-fit replacement mirrors install using existing mounting points with no drilling required - typically a 30-45 minute job per side with basic hand tools. You'll need a socket set (usually 13mm and 15mm), trim removal tools, and possibly a torx bit set. The main challenge is accessing the mounting bolts inside the door panel and properly routing any electrical connections. West Coast style mirrors or aftermarket designs may require bracket adapters or minor modifications. We recommend having a second person help support the mirror during installation to prevent door damage.
What's the quality difference between chrome plastic and stainless steel mirror heads?
Stainless steel mirror heads are significantly more durable and maintain their appearance longer, especially in harsh weather conditions. Chrome plastic mirrors are lighter and less expensive but can fade, pit, or peel after 2-3 years of exposure. Stainless steel adds about 3-5 pounds per mirror but won't rust or deteriorate. For trucks in northern climates with road salt exposure, stainless steel is worth the extra investment. Chrome plastic works well for mild climates or show trucks that aren't daily drivers.
My LoneStar has the aero mirrors with integrated antenna - will replacement mirrors accommodate this?
Most aftermarket mirrors do not include the integrated antenna mount found on some OEM LoneStar aero mirrors. You have two options: relocate your antenna to the roof or hood using an aftermarket antenna kit, or specifically look for mirrors labeled "antenna-ready" or "with antenna mount provision." Some drivers successfully modify aftermarket mirrors to accept the OEM antenna mount, but this requires drilling and may void the mirror warranty. If maintaining the antenna position is critical, OEM or OEM-style replacements are your best bet.
