Default Where to hook up my LED Side Mirror Blinkers...

Nigel LED Puddle/Blinkers—Got the puddle lights to work, just need to find the wiring to hook up them blinkers, I don't want to run them to the headlight wires in the engine bay...Any options like fuse box or somewhere else...Picts or diagram will help.

Thanks

You can hook them up to the turn signal stalk in the steering wheel but then they wouldn't blink when you had the hazards on. The easiest way is to run it to the front and be done with it.

Check the wires behind the cluster. Should have a good line there.

It's a pain to run the wires through the firewall...

I ran mines to the rear tail lights to avoid any heat issues with the wire insulation.

Why not wire it to the flasher relay under the dash drivers side.
Get the schematic for the 2 output wires and be done. no need to run the wire all over the car .

believe it or not i took only 5 minutes to find the 2 wires on the kick panel. i just look at the harness to rear and probe the wires even found them on the first crack.

so no need run all the way to the front or back.

This is the correct way to do it so you save on wires.

Unfortunately when I did this mod like 4 yrs ago...I didn't have a probe.
