    yup i just got mine done yester day, i ran the wires up through the fender to the turn signal. The wires that you tap into on the turn signal bulb are the white one with a black stripe and the green one with a black stripe on the drivers side and green with a yellow stripe on the passenger side. I took a coathanger and taped my wires onto it to get them through the fender. If you got anymore questions just ask, i took me awhile to figure out how to get the wires where i need them.

    the mirrors that i got came with a base that looked exactly like the one from the stock mirror and it fit perfectly. the only thing you need to remeber to do is remove the gasket off of the old base and put it on the new one(which i forgot to do and had to take the mirrors back off and put the gasket on). the gasket will need to be trimmed a bit for it to fit on the back of the new base but all you have to do is use a pair of scissors or a knife to get the job done. and C-Rolla i'll have the pictures up tomorrow of how i ran the wires through the fenders.

    they look like the ones that i got but mine came with a plastic plate that the mirror attaches to then you attach that plate to the car. the plate has the exact same shape as the factory one. this is where i got my mirrors http://shop.store.yahoo.com/eracingzone/

    ok here are the pics of how i wired them up

    1.This is a pic of the wires running out of the fender, you will notice a kind of clip thing that hold a piece of plastic on that is wher i stuck the wires through. It was a pain in the a** to get the wires into that little rubber hose, and besure once you get them into the door to make sure they aren't in the way of your windows when you roll them down.

    2. This is the pic of the wires running from behind the fender, it is kind of a pain in the but to do on the passenger side cause there isn't alot of room to get your hand to the fender, but on the drivers side there is a bit more room to work with, and take the battery out, it makes it a whole lot easier.

    [IMG]

    3.those are the wires coming out of the back of the turn signal. On the drivers side you want to tap in the green w/ black stripe and the white w/ black stripe. On the passenger side you'll want to tap into the green w/ yellow stripe and the white /w black stripe.

    [IMG]

    4. Once you have the wires attached to the bulbs attach them to the mirrors, the white w/ black goes to the black, and the green w/ black and green w/ yellow go to the red.


    hope this helps yall out if you got anymore questions just ask away
