OK, here's what I came up with...

 

I'm using the amber lights as turn signals, that was easy, tied the orange wire to the red/blue wire and done! (thanks Ben it worked perfect!)

 

Now for my difference... The 2 reverse lights (the yellow wire) I ran a wire to the fuse box and connected to the reverse light fuse. Now what this did was give me reverse light and ALSO puddle lights (when it got dark)... I didn't realize the reverse lights did not come on when you open your doors during the day light. BUT at night they all come on....Problem solved!

 

Now if you want to have the amber lights work as marker lights just run another wire to your fuse box for each side and tap into the correct fuse and you will have marker lights. (I tried doing both (marker and turn) at the same time, but it just fast flashed and said the bulb was out)

Alright, for those who don't want to have it reflash from the dealer and wants to know the color wires to have it your way.. LOL

The solid orange wire is for the front amber light in the slot "#1"on the plug. You can move and connect to slot "13" Red/blue stripe to have it on with your blinker or you can wire your own as running light.

The solid Yellow wire is for the 2 little white led in slot "#2" on the plug .You can run your own wire and connect to the reverse light or you can move it to slot "#1" to have it on as your puddle lights. :D

 

I think I understand this:

 

For blinker - The solid orange wire on the mirror side is for the front amber light in the slot "#1"on the mirror plug. You can move and connect to slot "13" to match the Red/blue stripe in vehicle harness.

 

For the LED’s - The solid Yellow wire on the Mirror side can be move from slot “2” to slot "1" to have it on as your puddle lights.

 

Do you know if we can use the "Mirror Tilt" to power the LED's and if so do you know what pin # it should be moved to on the mirror side plug.

 

Thanks for the feed back.

Correct,

 

If you want to have it on with the back up lights. You have to run your own wires from the back up light and connect it to the Solid yellow wire.

There are 6 wires on the Power motor that I don't have the tool to test to see which one is the tilt function. These 6 wires contain "Up/Down Left/Right and memory.

Did you cut and splice into the mirror side yellow wire or did you run the power side of the reverse lights through the vehicle plug? If the plug, how did you do it. Oh, and how do you move the pins without damaging them?

 

Thanks for the help.

Actually I just used Tap Splices. That way you don't have to cut into the red/blue wire.

GOT MY MIRRORS TODAY!!

 

Shooting for an install this weekend.

 

Debating whether to have the clearance lights on with the parking lights or have them function strictly as a blinker. Opinions??

 

Does anyone know what size nut is needed for the 4th. stud?

It's very simple, the fuse box under the hood (on the drivers side), and it's the Reverse Lamp (10a) location #16, but just look at the lid from the fuse box and match it up to the reverse Lamps.

Any pics of the switch? Also who has done or in the process of putting these on a 15' 2500 with camper mirrors all ready on?

Currious to know whats all involved.
