I was able to super glue the two cracks. One on the JDM cover and one on the mirror housing. Everything working fine. But I'm so OCD...the two minor hair line cracks driving me crazy. Seriously looking to upgrade to the 09 OEM turn signal side mirrors. But now confused...what do you mean that I need to flip flop a wire on the right mirror. Since I ran the wires previously when I installed signal mirrors from Nigel, I plan to use the same wire and tap into the new mirror wire harness.

from your led covers you only need one wire which is the power wire, if you look at my directions thats gonna be the wire on each harness that does not exist on the other end. You wont need your ground cables. However if you just do the blinker cable and plug each side it the blinkers wont blink individually instead its like the hazzards are going off and your mirror controls inside wont work. There is a wire someone in that 09 wiring plug that is in a different pin. So you need to identify that only on the passenger side.

Okay...I starting to understand what your saying....first of all, I only need to tap into the power wire. Do you happen to remember what color wire for the left and right side. It appears to be the pink wire for the right side in your photo. Is this correct?

Thanks robertrios for your assistance. I do appreciate it.

if you already have the wiring from your blinker that hooks up to whichever one is "new" on the new plug disreguard color there will only be one on each side.
