Can't you just take the wire from the side repeaters?

Yeh, I think (I'm only guessing) that these replace your side repeaters, and you take the wires from them to your mirrors. Decent sized job!

are they the m3s with the neons around the mirror as they have 3 wires (a mean not as if i ever had them or owt lol) just take the connection from the repeaters thats what i did with a connector block really easy actually and just run the wires up the side of the door, it is a bit fiddly but will only take you an hour at the most

well you only need the earth and live for the indicators, dunno why you have 3 wires, a think one of them might be for sidelights so they come on with sidelights and the other live will be for the repeaters

have you got a 6volt battery you can test them on???

nope not got a 6 volt battery anywhere.i'll work it out somehow cant be that difficult surely.im just more bothered about where to run the wiring because im going to have the wiring between the door and i dont want the check strap or anything to catch on it.

well im sure ones for the sidelights and ones for the repeters and the other is earth you can either have both them on, or sidelights on or just the repeaters, i wired mine up like that
