You run the wires down to the turn signals. I almost bought a set for my car but they were the wrong color...

wiring schematics will guide you.
Way back when I did a RHD conversion on a 4dr civic. had to wire the US rear harness to a cut JDM harness.

I'm googling for a schematic at work, this isnt easy since the link i need is favorited on my PC as home. I'm just ***uming toyota uses the same turn signal wire color on all cars. So I'm sure if you find the loom of wires you can get the wire you need inside the car vs to the front turn signal.

slice open the black tape and look for 2 thin green wires " solid green w/ yellow line and solid green w/ black line". if i could remember i think the green w/ black line is the right side. For the courtesy light i tap into the door light

This is some great information for putting the turn signal with mirror options on the car. Has anyone added the folding Japanese style mirrors as well? Just curious if there is a wire harness to tap into so that I do not have to run wires all the way to the front of the car for power. The mirrors have their own ECU to run them. Thanks

here's a quick update. Met up with Ian Burrows (Studio http://bold-move.com/?page_id=177) today to pick up my suspension parts. Very well made parts. If you guys need anything just hit him up and say Monard with the LS recommended him

Hopefully I can get it installed soon
