On the newer trucks there is only one ground wire going to the mirrors and on the 04-08 trucks there were two pins that were ground wires and they were in a different spot than were the ground has to be in the tow mirrors so you have to take one of the ground wires out of its spot in the truck side of the plug and move it to the right spot so it goes to the correct spot in the mirror. Then you can take the second ground wire out of its spot in the plug which you don't need anymore and put it in the spot that goes to the feed for the puddle lamp and cut that wire a few inches from the plug and run a new wire into the door that you connect to the interior light wire and connect to the wire you cut that goes into the plug now feeding your puddle lamp. I hope this makes sense. Not as complicated as it sounds if you look at the pin configuration of the 09 and up trucks compared to the 04-08 trucks.
