    Just installed tow mirrors from topgearautosport. The LED and blindspot not working. I have reached out to topgear with no response. Has anyone run into this?

    Does your truck have blindspot already? And what do you mean by the LED - the LED strip in the front? They usually don't come on unless your headlights are on, unless you do some extra wiring to them.

    I would not be surprised if you never got responses from TopGearAuto. But provide some more info and members might be able to help you. If you Tundra already had the blind spot monitoring, your mirrors should be pinned for them and they should work. If you didn't have BSM originally, it would be a pain to get sensors and wire them to work with the mirrors. Is the LED the puddle light that will shine along the side/back of your truck? If so, you would have to run wiring for that. The Tundra doesn't have the pinned to the harness.

    The led on the front of the mirrors (running light) and yes I have BSM. And yes I know the lights don't come on unless the other is on. The puddle light works. Looking back I would have never ordered if I had seen the reviews on facebook. Can't get any response from Topgearautosport. And looking at the reviews if I sent them back I probably wouldn't see my money. So this is why I am reaching out to see what I can do. I believe I can do the wiring just would have to figure out which ones are for running lights and which wires are for the BSM. Just curious if anyone else has ran into this. And if they know which wires are which. Thanks

    Hmm... the running lights should be working if your DRLs are on. I thought I had a mirror pin diagram saved but I'm only seeing a trailer hitch diagram. If I find it I'll post it.

    Make sure you didn’t hit the dash button that turns off the BSM..

    Also there is a way to add small LEDs in the door sail panels that light up for the BSM system. This is functional for people who added tow mirrors to a vehicle with the BSM feature.

    I might do that but still need to know the wiring diagram

    Check the build link in my signature.
    Hit the wiring diagram post in my signature - you can download the full set of wiring diagrams for your year. You’ll need a few different diagrams to chase it down, but they are all in the same pdf: illumination, blind spot monitor, headlights, mirror heater, and rear view mirror (w/ memory) to name a few. Those will help you chase down the different pins on the connector.
