I just installed towing mirrors on my 06 tacoma.
I installed PowerVision mirrors (powervisionmirrors.com) from a 98 chevy. First you have to find a mirror base plate that mounts to the door smaller than the toyota (98-00 chevy or 96-01 dodge), the flip up towing mirrors that dodge has will work. For sale on amazon.com for $300. The powervision mirrors had different mounting stud locations, I just had to oval 2 of the 3 the holes in the toyota door and use stainless steel washers. Because of the different sizes of the mirror bases, I used 3/8" thick mud flap material to make a trim piece to match up to the toyota door and mounted the mirror. The electrical wiring for the glass adjustment on power vision mirror was 4-wire (2 common wires) and toyota was 3-wire (1 common wire). I wired the new mirrors to my stock toyota mirror adjustment switch. The circuit for the in/out movement of the power vision mirrors, I tapped off my power window circuit. I installed the switch in a small encloser box so I didn't have to cut into my stock toyota interior. Now I have a high quality set of towing mirrors for safety and what toyota should have offered with there tow package.

Pics might be helpful to some others with Toys. I don't suppose you took any during the assembly? Regardless, I'd sure post what the results look like.
