    I tried the jumper wire last night and it didn't work. It threw a malfunction as soon as I turned the ignition on. I ended up removing the jumper wire and also removing the resistor from the LED and it worked perfectly. Both sides lit up on my commute to work this morning.

    Since the LED is a diode, I'd imagine you could use a diode on the jumper wire and that may allow you to bypass the LED completely, but that's still a theory. The only thing that has been proven to work so far is to install a 12v LED in the sail panel with no resistor. Worst case scenario is the LED may burn out from too much voltage, but it's not like they're lit up all the time, so it's probably fine.

    The jumper/diode would be placed across the wires in the pic below. Your colors may be different. When looking at the picture, the pins are numbered from left to right, starting on the bottom row. 1-9 on the bottom, 10-18 on the top. In My case, I ended up cutting bot wires and I connected the BSM+ door side to my positive on the LED and BSM- truck side to the negative on the LED. I wired the BSM- mirror side to the negative on the driver's footwell light for the puddle lights to work, since pin 5 is actually a common ground for BSM and puddle lights.

    Here are my sail panels with the 3mm LEDs.

    Finally got them installed. I'll report back after some mileage. The defrost illumination doesn't work for me, but neither did the original mirrors. I love the turn signals and running lights that I didn't have before. Those blind spot mirrors are gonna be nice to have, finally. Thanks @Roman for the hook up!!

    Hey, sorry for the late reply, I don’t get on here a ton. The rims are Method 305 NV and the tires are Cooper STT Pros.

    They’ve held up great, never had any issues. Would buy them again with no hesitation.
