I mean they shake, but it's like just barely enough to notice it. I'm not too worried about it because my standard OEM passenger side mirror shook a little bit. Idk if it has to do with the passenger side but the tow mirror also only does the shaking on the passenger side.

Yeah to wire the puddle lamps, you have to run a wire either thru the boot or thru the molex plug like I did to the interior light wire inside and to the right pin on the mirror. Since you have to swap some pins around anyway on the 04-08 trucks you wind up not needing one of the ground pins, so I just pooped that pin out and put it in the right pin for the puddles and just cut the wire a few inches from the plug and tapped my wire that I had run to the interior light wire to it and your good to go. I think Tasca has a pin diagram so you can figure where it has to go and like someone said earlier there is a write up on here about it too.

I'm really confused when it comes to swapping out pins and stuff.
