All the wiring info is available @ Muth mirror systems. I have it all wired up and the left side functional. It started to rain and I have mis placed my soldering iron. Easy fix with it being pre-wired. All in all it is pretty darn easy. Just remember to purchase side flashing LED stripes. I found mine local for $13.95 a 18" stripe. Very neat mod for the time and $$$

Thanks for the info on the Muth site, that is an excellent how to on the installation!! Did you go with the Muth signal or just the LED strip in the housing?
I ordered my LED strips, just waiting for them to come!

I found some LED stripe local. It was $13.95 for a 18" stripe. I cut it in half and used one piece per mirror. The Muth site is great. The wiring location they gave was spot on.

Looks real clean...only thing is do they interfere with the mirrors movement?

The LED stripe light does not interfere with the mirror movement at all. Very easy to install. Make sure you get side shine LED's. I took the mirrors off to run the wires and install the lights. Also be sure to use some kind of quick dis-connect at the mirror mount inside the door sail for future removal of mirrors. I used an old antenna to aide in fishing the wires through the mirror pivot assembly. Much easier off the truck.

I'm mounting mine on their side so that they don't directly aim out past the mirror, just gotta find the time to put them on!!
