So I can't find my original write up, so I thought I would re-add this since someone was askin about them. If this is a repost, my bad. anyways, here we go: This is how I wired up my towing mirrors to my 2006 XLT SCrew. If you can not remove the door panel or lower kick panels, this may not be the mod for you. Not responsible for any damages you may do yourself. Now, onto the fun. After getting the door trim panel, kick panel by parking break, and door sill off, I started to find the wires needed. What I wanted to do was wire up the puddle lamps to my reverse sensors, this way to aid when I park at night and in garages (those that I can fit in). I knew that the black/pink stripe was reverse since I had spliced it for the LED Light bar. To make things easier, I cut the electrical tape around the bundle and found the wire. Spliced and ran it up towards the parking brake area. I decided to splice it here again and run the wire over to the passenger side as well. Then I found (after several mistakes) the signal for the LED turn signal, green w/ orange stripe. I decided to run these to the rear lights, and they function both as turn signals, hazards, and also illuminate when I hit the brakes. This might not be for most, so again, this is just how I did my truck and feel it helps drivers be more aware of me in traffic. The wire for the passenger mirror is orange w/ green stripe. I found grounds on each side of the lower kick panel where I wanted to run the wires into the door, so just started that there. Now to run them up to the door. I found it was easier to bundle them w/ zip ties. Remove the rubber grommet containing the factory harness for locks/mirrors, and run your wires through it. After feeding the wires behind the plastic and up towards the mirror, I wired them based on the diagram found at Tascaparts.com Here is the link: Untitled Document Just match the correct pins and you are set. All I did was expose 1-2mm of wire on each, and threaded into their respective slots until they were exposed. Then I connected them to the mirror creating a solid connection. Thanks!

Feel free to add the pics of how you connected the heated mirror. we dont have a need for that here in Texas so I just left it alone so it wouldn't burn the mirror up (i've seen chevy's w/ TONS of burnt mirrors from the element).
I didn't take any pics because there are already so many out there. All I did was find which wire went to the heating element and wired it to an always on hot wire and a toggle switch. Easier than wiring up lights
so. Green with orange stripe is drivers and opposite on passenger. Might need help with the kick panel
Lol. Like posted they also work as break light but I liked that cuz when on the freeway, the cars next to me would notice it and slow down thinking I was coming over on them. Kick panel is easy. Open doors. the driver side just pops off but you have to remove the door sill, on both sides. The passenger side you'll remove the fuse door panel and then that kick panel just pops off too. Might need to pull back the door seal. I'd walk out to the truck and double check but...
do i have to go all the way down there or can i just splice into the harness in the door going to the mirror
