    Hi everyone, I recently purchase towing mirrors for my 2022 SR5 that came with a little more bells and whistles then my auto adjusts and heat. I like to add them signal and running light but need some help locating the port to power them up, can anyone assist me in directing me to the proper steps please. Thank you in advance.

    For Running (TAILS/PARKING) circuit, you can posi-tap the connector (P18) on the Driver's side door control. It's a very thin gauge wire, don't use 3M type taps. It's in slot #10.

    Passenger side is also a very thin gauge wire.

    I have these on a chevy. There's some pretty bright cargo lights on them. They work really good in my opinion, no blindspots.

    Another choice, much easier (for Running Lights) if you like running wires from Cab to doors.

    For the puddles, it won't be dimming type due to the shared ground. Your best bet install would be a duplicate of the Cargo Lamp circuit.

    So far…. Added fog lights swapped halogens to led’s, interior lights to led’s, bed lights added, led/strobe brake lights, trying to figure out the right leds for turn signals.
    Man y’all are some smart folks on here, I feel so stupid reading some of these posts it’s and learning how much I don’t know

    I have exactly the same mirror that I installed on my 23 Tacoma SR5 about a year ago. It is simple plug and play except for ditch lights and forward facing turn signal. After plugging in, there are two tails intended to be connected somewhere, either inside the mirror housing or inside the vehicle, one white and one blue. No instructions at all were included. TIA
