Help Please- LEDs on M3 mirrors

I just got done wiring my power M3 mirrors with LED. I'm positive everything is wired correctly. Neither set of LEDs are working. The LEDs works; I tested them from battery. What could be wrong???

do your regular turn signals work ? if not you might have blown a fuse.
is the led ground connection grounded properly ?

Double check the wiring, you can never be too sure. Until it works.

Regular turn signals work. It is connected to the turn signal ground and red turn signal wire. I worked on it for almost 2 hours today. Still don't know, what's wrong?

Hmmm is there a third wire ? one to connect it to a constant source of power ? The turn signal wire might act like a on/off switch for the led, just a thought.

There should be 3 wires. One goes to parking lights, one to turn signals and one ground. Run the ground right to your door tho, dont bother to go to your turn signal ground.
