Default Quick Help! (wiring)

So im putting my M3 mirrors on my neon right now (got em for $25 and there nice =]) and its real easy. I just need to know one thing. Where should i run the wires to (it has a LED light) for the LED light to work? Whats the easiest/best place to run it off of? Thank you

i had the same ones off ebay (carbon fiber lookin ones) and i got a ticket for the blue leds that i ran off the blinkers. also, the reflective material is plastic and doesnt lay flat in the housing so everything in the mirror is all funhouse out of proportion. hard to see whats behind you. also the shake so bad when driving you cant see ****. i had to go back to stock.

Ok so i have a blue black and white wires for my mirrors and im running them to the corresponding turn signal but the turn signal only has 2 wires. What wires should i run to it? also seems like i dont have enough wire to run but thats just a side note

use some speaker wire to extend it. just wire the black to the ground and test the other two with the blinker wire. the blinkers are kinda tricky cause one wire is the ground and one is the lead. and when your parking lights are on the lead gets a ground sent intermittent from the relay to make the blinking. just hook em up until you get the lights to act the way you want.

Yeah thats exactly what i did. Got some extention wire did some splicing taped it off and the mirror lights work how i want and no the mirrors dont flap in the breeze. Took it out for a test drive their very stable. thank you everyone.
