Default LED arrow side view mirror indicators

Searched the past few days for a how to on this for our F150s but only have found multiple threads and how-tos on tow mirrors and the like.. So has anyone ever tried to install these LED arrow indicator mirror lights? Will they fit behind the mirror glass with minimal fab work to the side view mirrors? And anyone know what color wires I need to tap into for these to work? Thanks!

Never installed them but I have some info on the wiring.

Pull your driver & pass. side kick panels off. On each side of the truck, there is a green-colored connector with about 12-16 wires in each. On the driver's side, tap into the green/white stripe for left turn signal. The passenger side green-colored connector...you want the white/blue stripe wire for right turn signal. Popping your glove box down helps for this side. Just ground your black wires to the door.

I don't really care for the amber color for indicator lights, about to order the vLeds switchback indicators this week, truck was in a fender bender a few days ago (the other guys fault) so I'm going to order up some stuff so when I get er back I can have everything waiting to install! Thanks for the info and looks like when I do get er back I'll also be doing a how-to on this!
