Me too. I'm still waiting to get them painted. I connected the wiring from the hazzard switch to each of the doors. But how do you get the wire through the mirror?

The wiring isn't that hard. If you go to the hazzard switch both left and right directional wires are there. Just use a test light and probe for the left side while the left directional is on, and then the same for the right side. What I don't understand is how do you get the wire through the actual mirror it self. Well maybe someone else will jump in with a answer.

Thanks for the tip I have to take a look it . I think the hardest part would be the actual hook up through the mirrors.

I removed door panels, then removed the mirrors then you will have to drill a little hole on stock mirror to pass the wires from light covers (do not remove the mirror/reflecting part itself), after passing wires thru the hole then pass it thru the door hole together with original mirror wires, then run wires inside fenders, remove signal light from bumper then connect/tap the wires to the signal lights on bumper for each side. (you can try to find wires on steering wheel base, but was easier for me the other way).
Before you glue the mirror cover use a heat gun or hair drier to soften double sided tape before puting it together then connect/tap the wires to the signal lights on bumper for each side.
As per the full instruccions that Custom maxima provided I had them some place but can't find it; however they are extremelly confusing and do not say anything of what I just said I called them asking for further instruccions and they weren't able to help me at all. Unbelievable that they do not know how to install their products.
Hope that helps.

Quick question did you guys have a problem glueing the covers over the factory covers cause I tried to fit them on top of the orginal covers and they seem not fitting all around and the cables are sticking out. Any suggestions ?

Thanx

These cheap mirror covers are never perfect and do not exactly fit properly, they are either a little smaller or bigger than stock mirror covers; if you made the little hole in stock mirror cover wires are not suppose to be in your way; before you glue them you have to clean the stock covers with alcohol, thiner or goo goo gone to clean them really well; then heath glue tape with a heatgun or hair dryer to soften glue, then try to put them on top of stock ones as good as possible and apply a little pressure for a few minutes.
Hope that helps.
