Great! I'm probably closer to you than you/i would imagine Yeah! I think we should team up for the install...I'm getting it in a couple of weeks...little delay on my part. You will probably get yours before my. I can stop by to help or just watch while you're installing it. Is your car Glacier Frost or Silver? The pic in your sig looks more of a Silver IS though. I saw a 250 GFM in Manassas about 2 weeks ago but the driver was a girl..she has some aftermartket chrome rims on it Having said that, I saw a silver with red-out tail regularly on Rt66 and actually saw it on Rt28 when i'm heading home this afternoon.

I did the installation for my car, and thanks to this thread I was able to use the driver side wires. Follow passnu2, I ground the wire to the frame, there is a ground bolt under neat the carpet(on driver side). Then I connect the driver's side to the light green (medium wire size, once you open you will know,)and the passenger side to a red color (also medium size...)
You need to have a volt meter, or LED to do the probing while turning the signal. In my case, I use the LED connect the neg. to ground and the pos. connect to a needle , then poking the wires..
There are some red, white, green wires always ON, and the LED does not blink. Once you hit the right green wire, the LED will blink.
Here is the pix of the green wire, the red wire should be close to this.

I also found that take off the entire mirror then I can run the wire through easier. You will see 2 10mm nuts through this hole

You can see, after running the signal wire, and I taped the wires back as org. with new electrical tape..
Those two yellow wires are for puddle light..I wil keep that in mind for the LED door handles, just a thought
