The mirrors should come with instructions. Also here's an install video Mike has made for you guys.

ok here is what i did.... with the door panel off of couse the main harness that goes to your windows and door locks there is a green/purple trace wire
i simply spliced into this wire and ran a new wire to the purple wire to the truckside mirror harness
now what i did with the purple wire i just cut it and taped off the truckside and connected to the mirror side. Im not 100% sure but the passenger side should be the same. I didnt pull that panel off and look.
The way i did it everytime your key is in the on position you bottom light on your mirror turn signal will be on, so in other words it will be more of a DRL vs parking light which i liked. Doing it this way i didnt have to run extra wire from the fuse panel.

so I think I have found the problem of my excessive wind noise. I have attached two pictures of the gaps where the mirror trim meets the body of the truck. both sides have it. Tony, is this supposed to sit like this or what? The mirrors can't move forward as the three bolts only allow so much room to manipulate. Does anyone else mirrors fit like this?
