Default Finding switched signal and parking wires in 4gen

Ok so I am trying to wire up my new mirrors and I wanted to know the closest location (or any location) of the switched signal wires and parking light wires, from the side mirrors. The mirrors are m3 style, with the blinker in the mirror, so I was thinking of wiring the lights to the parking and signal indicators. (Hey, they were the cheapest replacement power mirrors I could find, lol)


Any help would be appreciated

i think i've read this post 10 times now, so I guess i'll reply...

do you want these lights to just blink, or to stay on with your parking lights are on and blink when you signal?

that determines which wire you need to tap. You are going to have to run a wire through your door and the mirror hole though either way...

anyway I could have them on with parking lights, off with headlights on, and blink?
If not, then just have them blink

no.

You need to tap a wire into the positive lead from the bumper turn signal. Run this wire into the mirror. If you can't do this then take it to a stereo shop, they will be able to do it for you.

Ok cool. I wonder how much a shop would cost? (if its like $10 then I would to avoid frustration)

i doubt it would be that cheap. Maybe you should go ask one, or even call!
