Easiest wiring of M3 mirrors? I wanted to finally get my hands on a set of mirrors with an L.E.D blinker on them. However, what is the easiest way to tap into the turn signal for them?

I wired it like this because it is very clean when your done. I dont like to look at wires hanging down when i open my door so i used what the car come with and it works like a charm and is very clean.
1. Real simple just pop the hood and take off bumper so you have full
access to headlights.
2. I took off my door panel and ran my wires through the weatherproof boot where the rest of the wires for the door is into the car.
3. There is a weather plug right next to the bundle of wires the comes from the door I took that off and cut a slit into it and ran the wires from the door through this plug. So basically the wires are right back in the door jam.
4. With the wires in the door jam look where the fender meet the chassis of the car you will see a plug that looks like a half circle that has enough room to slide two wires through. Run your wires through this and along side your fender straight to the headlight. I did 2 wire taps one in each wire because it is clean and didnt want to do the electrical tape thing.
5. You should have 3 wires coming from the mirrors ..... when you pop off your tweeter there are 4 screws .... the screw that doesnt seem to screw into the mirror is the one i used for the grounding wire instead of wiring it with the other two wires through the car. that way your only dealing with two wires to snake through your car.
Sorry I do not have pics. I hope this helped you a little. I hope this was clear and didnt just confuse you. Goodluck
