Hahaha! That would be funny to see.

"Oh he just shifted into 2nd. That was so cool!"

Op, didn't you mirrors come with directions? I would just splice a wire in at the stock blinker and run it to the mirror. Or better yet, not run them. As far as the tach goes; I hooked mine up to the dizzy when I ran one. Then I got a real tune and just had it on the SRS light. There is a thread on here about it. Just look around you will find it.

Maybe he's looking for one of these:



Although, I cannot see how that'd help him in a driving situation.

if ur just trying to hook up the signal lights off the mirrors cant u just splice them onto the front oem signal lights? that sounds like it would be the easiest way

Run the wires through this. (circled in the photo)



I recommend the use of a split wire loom for the exposed wires. They're inexpensive.
