Installation of Side mirrros with LED: 97 corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello everyone. A few months ago i purchased Sideview mirros for my 1997 corolla. These sideview mirrors also had the LED. It's just like the one you can view by clicking here. ( exept mine are black.)
I mounted the sideview mirrors with ease, but i do not know how to wire the LED. There are only three wires coming out of the sideview mirror. They are White, Blue and Black. Can someone please tell me how to hook up the wires. I will be eternally greatful.

I'm not a rice expert or anything, but I'm sure you'll have to run a wire on each to be wired into one of your lights. If you want them to blink when you put your turn signals on, you'd wire them to your turn signal wires, if you want them to stay on all the time you would wire them to your driving light wire.

I guess i messed up on my request. What i also wanted to know which wires would be the turn signal wires.

The ones going into the turn signals of course.

Not sure for '97s, but you have to find the wire panel that contains plugs for your wires, somewhere near your left foot behind a plastic cover.

Remove the panel and look up, you should see lots of plugs; I pulled 1-by-1 untill the blinking stopped to find the plug for the turn signals, then used a volt meter to find the left and right signal wires to tap the lights into.

White is probably the positive for the yellow leds, blue is the positive for the blue leds and black is negative (attach this to body of the car). Use a 9 volt battery with the wires to see for your self.
