Yes - you can find the info in numerous threads.


Here's a thread many of us used to install the OE Powerscope mirrors, therefore much of it has to do with wiring up the power telescoping feature.


However, we also wanted to have the side lights on the mirror operate as you're interested in, so scroll down to post# 74 to see what will work. There are other posts in that thread as well, but I used the procedure MrCdnVegas documents in post# 74 to get my lights to work as he discusses - bottom light as a puddle light and marker/running light; top light as an lock/unlock flash and turn signal light.

Good luck!!

He's got a lot involved in that. Can I just use the brown wire and hot tap a fused line? I have one ran for my boost gauge so I could tap that one then just connect to the brown wire with the bullet connector?



Been thinking. So back in post 454 of this thread are instructions on tapping the purple wire to add power but I messed up by not cutting the purple wire first. Purple should be the brown wire I can skip purple use the bullet connectors it comes with and tap my boost gauge power wire because it is fused and keyed so they will be on all the time and half the wiring is already run just need to go from the doors to the inside of the truck. Am I wrong or is that what I need to do. Just add keyed power to the brown bullet connector.

Yeah, but Why would someone with factory power scope tow mirrors be in a thread about aftermarket tow mirrors..?
