hit me up if you need anything in the future!!
^ Nigel is a great! He is so responsive to his PM's and very detailed. I like this as many others do not respond as he does. I promised him I would post a DIY for this and you beat me to it I hope there is enough interest for Nigel to put a GB together for everyone. I will post in the next few weeks so you can get a visual on Red and if I am so luck to tap the wires up closer I will try...but I like the method of running the wire all the way back and not messing with that mess of wires
Cant wait to see you put yours on your car.
Yeah, let me know if anyone of you want this led mirror.

Door panel removal takes all of 5 minutes each...once the 2 screws are removed the panel pops off fairly easily....very simple, putting it back on can be a bit tricky...both are easier with the windows down....

one side done last night couldnt resist and went in the garage at ~10pm...Its a little more work on this then the IS. Looks good so far. I did find how to run the wire through the rubber grommet for the door.
there are 2 bolts, 10mm, that hold was is actually a bracket. the wires dont run into the door. So I have it through the grommet and just have to run it into the car now. I stopped at this point. Door is back 100% back together.
hardest part was the door panel going back on. takes some time and effort to get it back in the upper corner (where the window is at). once its on then it just snaps back into place.
fitment on the passenger door was perfect. no gaps or any trouble at all.
Great DIY Exactly as I would have posted myself. Thanks for posting.

Yes
Its an L shape bracket that is held in by 2 bolts. The wires run through this. Its not like any other car I have run wires through. It was a little more work but I did get it to work. Its a tight work area. I will try to take some pics.

Okay to tap the wires up front: EyeKutr you can update this on your first post.
On the driver side there are the wires to tap. If you take off the sill cover in front of the sills on the driver side. There is a YELLOW wire and a GREEN wire. They are both much thicker then the other wires in there so trust me you will know. The smaller gauge wires do not work. I tested them all with a volt meter to find them yesterday. I tried to find the relay per the print out I had but I had no luck.
Passing the wire from the passenger side was very easy to run through.
PM me if you have any questions.
Awesome write up to EyeKutr...if you follow these steps its right on and not that hard to do.
