    You don't have to go into the column. The wires I believe come out and show there face in the footwell of the drivers side.
    Perfect. Makes it a lot easier for me to get into now haha!

    Yeah, I like to see wiring photos to clarify everything, too.

    On the W body cars, the wiring is usually at the BCM/main wiring where the dash meets the body. I tapped in near the e brake.

    FWIW, when you do this..consider doing puddle lights. It's such a great thing and you are already in the mirror housing.

    Bill, how will this work for a 2000 GP? I can probably try and get LED pods from a junkyard or something, but do you know if GP mirrors have the good heating elements?

    Also, what do you reckon is the best course of action with puddle lights?

    I think it's doable. GP's don't appear to have heating elements in all years/models.

    On puddle lights, do what I did.

    First post, but a long time reader.

    I have a 2001 SE and my son has a 97 GTP. I’m always visiting the
    write-up section for tips and I’ve wanted to do this mod for months
    now. I’ve contacted various junk yards to inquire about the mirrors
    with the pods, but they always want to sell the complete housings.
    The prices I got were close to what the Muth kits go for. I wanted
    to keep the oem housings so aftermarkets were out of the question
    and Muth doesn’t make a kit for heated mirrors. My son is adamant
    about keeping them functioning on his GTP. Mine aren't heated.


    I found this website below and wondered if anyone has dealt with them.
    I can’t seem to find any info on Shark Racing, other than they specialize
    in imports and are based in South Korea. At $33 a kit shipped, it looks
    almost too good to be true. I’m on a limited income and I’m not real
    keen on buying something from outside the US.

    I would use Bill’s idea to mount them on my son’s GTP and cut out the
    backs on both so the mirrors sit flush.
