To be quite honest with you, this was by far the hardest wiring job I've ever done, and I've done quite a few. Running the wires through the mirrors was not easy due to the fact they don't come apart, and the aluminum brackets inside don't make it any easier. But hey, if you guys want a step by step write up I'll give you one.

1. Remove plastic interior door panels to get to nuts that hold on the mirror.
2. Remove mirrors.
3. Mark out your holes in the mirror with a sharpie. ( I spaced mine 3" apart)
4. Drill the 3/4" holes for your lights, be careful not to get the existing wires caught in your drill bit. (I did and spent another 4 hours rewiring those)
5. Now run your wires through the mirror and solder your 3/4" inch marker light connections the best you can also make sure to shrink wrap them. While leaving about 6 feet of wire loos out the end of the mirror.
6. Now that you have your lights wired you can re install the mirrors and with that wire you had left over run those up into your running lights and tap into those and you're set to go from there.

Hope that helps. Any more questions just ask away!
