simple remove the door cards... when you have them remnoved take the protective sheet off be carefull not to rip it i found cutting the sealant was the easiest way it takes some patience but it stays kinda soft so you simply push it back on when youre finished..... with the cover removed look towards the door lock the wiring will be taped up there if you have it its a red connector if not look towards the mirror end if its not tucked up there you dont have it.... if oiu do all you need is the mirrors and the relay simply connect the mirrors to the plugand insert the relay its marked in the manual which one it is and away you go.

if you dont have the wiring forget about it its way too much hassle
