My friend has the mirrors with LED turn signals from a Freestar on his Yamaha FZ1. He cut the glass to fit the factory Yamaha size.
If nobody can answer the wiring question I'll ask him. He knows everything and I know nothing :(
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

yes the front flashers are your best bet, but please don't hook up the blue to your parking light it's just a crime against humanity. Just have the amber for your turns :)
also the LEDs in these lights are not that bright you might want to upgrade the LEDs if you have free time on your hands

Its hard trust me i have the M3 mirrors on my car and ive taken my car into 3 different shops and ive explained to them that i only want them to come on when im signaling or hazards beacuse what they want to do is splice into your stock side marker on the front bumper but if you do this the mirror lights wll be on as soon as you turn your lights on they told me they have to do it from the cluster and actully run it off the wire that runs to that lil green light that flashes when ur turning but all 3 shops said it would be hard and costly since you have to rip the dash apart to get to the wires but if anyone knows another way plz let me know as well pm me if possible but the fuse box sounds like it might have a chance.

Use bosch relays alternate the signal from your mirror's flashers if you're worried about affecting the current circuitry of your front flasher.

zx32nv, ive done this, theyre just lasy f***tards, the proper way to do it is just splicing into the ground and minor lights from youir grille blinkers. no need to rip appart the dashboard. tell them to fak off next time

yes paolo is right this time :) j/k
on the grill turns you will have 3 wires. 1 is constant/parking light 1 is flasher which as the name suggests only come on with flashing. 1 is ground.
To find the right wire you have to be a rocket scientist:
1.get your lights solder on some longer wire or be lazy and just twist them together.
2.pop the hood
3.unplug on of the turns from the connector
4.take the connector and start sticking in your wires from the mirrors until it works the way you want.
5...
6.profit
7.come back here and thank me.
thank you come again.

I have them. I found them really easy to hook up. I only use the white ones for my flashers because it is illegal to have the blue ones on. I ran the wires through my doors to the inside of the car, then through the firewall and spliced them into my bumper lights. It takes a full day to do it because you have to take off alot of stuff but in the end, its really worth it. I love them
