M3 Mirrors problem

[TenZen]

Ive bought some of those M3 mirrors the ones with LED's in them. These are manual not powered. Anyway i had to replace the wires three times beacause they were burnt up or something. The wires were looking like melted plastic so i figured they were burnt. On the third time, they worked for like 3 weeks or so.
I am so fed up with those i havent hooked them up again manily beacause i dont know how or why there being burnt up. I have put 14 gauge wire in them and they still dont work. Anyone else have those M3 mirrors in there car and are still working? Any info would be very helpful.

short circuit most likely.

Where are you running the wires? Any chance there is a spot that keeps getting knicked/stripped?

i have running from where the mrrior is, then running behinde the door panel and through that rubber thing (dont know what its called, its right in between the door below flat elbow piece connected to the door) and into the car behind i guess kick panels.

i like they way they look. i need to get them panited. they came painted CF but the passenger side mirrior is has turned yellow like a headlight does.

BTW, since were on lights, how do you get LED tail lights to work. I had gotten pulled over beacause they wouldnt light up like it would regular bulbs would.
