mirror turn signal to courtesy light
hi,
is there a way to wire the mirror turn signal to turn on when you open the door as well as blink when you turn the signals on? I know where to tap into for the dome just didn't know how to go about wiring them to do both functions..

Is your goal to have the mirror lights to be like a courtesy light?

You'll need 2 diodes and a relay for each turn signal.
Use the relay to change the polarity of the dome light trigger from negative to positive. If you do not know how to do this read this, http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page1.asp
Cut the line going to the turn signal in the mirror, take the two diodes and hook the striped side of both to the wire from the mirror, hook one of them back up to the turn signal wire coming from the car, and finally hook the other one up to the line coming from the relay output. This way the turn signals will still work normally and the ones in the mirror will also come on when you open the doors. Alternatively you could use the wires coming directly off the front door pins so that each turn signal only comes on when the door on that side is opened.
