Minor Mods: Radar, Turn Signal, Door Light
Waiting for parts to be developed...in the meantime......
RADAR
Best to remove the mirror completely to line it up and have better access.
The blue wire is the power which turns on and off with the ignition. The purple wire next to it is the ground. The stealth wire can be purchased with an in-line fuse, so no need to wire it all the way to the fuse box.
REAR TURN SIGNAL
Follow the instructions in the manual. Two screws and the light pulls straight out. Tape the edges so that it does not scratch the paint when you pull it out. It needs a little force and then it suddenly pops out. I used stealthbulbs which are glass and not plastic and are much brighter.

After:
DOOR LIGHT

its probably a blendmount. He tapped into the wires of the rear view mirror for power.
Heres another alternative location for the radar. I personally didnt like it under the rear view mirror, it was distracting. Felt like it was blocking my vision, which is scarce under the rear view. I like this position better since its in my field of vision without having to look to the mirror. The silence button is under the start engine button. Power cable runs from the dash through a gap between the dash and windshield down to the fusebox near the pedals. I just tapped the power into one of the Ignition fuses. Same thing with my dash cam.

Believe it or not when my RC arrived it was missing its owners manual, so if the answer is in there please accept my apologies in advance. I was wondering if you could confirm the actual bulb (model, wattage, etc.) you bought from stealth. I like the look and definitely want to replicate what you've done.
