Default 2GS led side mirror install help

I found some diy's for the 3GS but none for the 2GS. Anyone know what wires to tap into for the driver and passenger turn signals when installing led side mirrors? Which wires for the puddle lamps?

TIA!

I have an european model so I wired the turn signal on the turn signal fender, very simple.

For the puddle light, I wired it to driver's foot light and passenger's foot light

I would the the following, but if someone else can confirm please step in.

1) Turn Signals, you can tap the wire harness that runs next to the drivers side under the door still. You will need a wiring diagram so you know what wires are left and right.

2) Puddle lights, here you have two options.
A) Tap the courtesy lights on the door panel.
B) Tap the dome light on the fuse panel under the dash by the kick panel.

Hope this helps you out, again if someone else has a better way please step in.

CLT, that's exactly what I did. there's a harness on the drivers side lower kickpanel. I forgot what the wires were but you can uses a test light and leave your signal on. The one that flashes is the one.

for 2) there is also a C) im gonna tap into my foot light wiring so that the mirrors fade off like the footwells do. although i do have the wiring colors if you wanna just tap into the courtesy lights on the doors. i did my DIY both ways. i took a day off of this as i did fry my passenger door ecu while i was working on this due to a silly fault of my own

Thanks for the response guys.

My main question now is where can I get a hold of a wiring diagram? or do any of you know exactly which color wire it is for the turn signals? I don't have a test light anymore.

i should have mine done this weekend guys but yes, i attached the wiring schematics INCLUDING the door ecu and power mirrors for the puddle lights...

looking at the wiring diagram, the green/black goes behind the left kick panel and the green/yellow goes behind the right passenger kick panel.

theoretically since the wire runs around the car, you should see it in the wiring loom running by the door sills on both sides but i wont know for sure till i get mine in this weekend.

btw dont thank me for the PDF'S abel sent them to me.....thank him
