I have wired a positive wire to the door wiring that is pin #13 and a negative wire to pin #12. This is to feed the Cree LED projector you have chosen to light your way.

Here is where I installed the projector light. Your light may be different. Notice I hot melt glued the light after installation to keep it from rotating after I made sure the display was angled as I wanted it to be. Also glued the cable to keep it tight to the card.

And this is the outside or under side of the card. Using the correct hole saw size is very important. Too big and you will hate life.

Here is the whole inner side of the card in one shot. Small amounts of hot melt glue to keep wires where they will not get smashed when re-installing the card.

Here is the plugs I went with. They are from AMP but you can really get any small two-wire plugs. These have "solder" style pins/sockets as it is easier than buying the proper crimp tool for only a few ends. These are water tight and were about $8.00 a set.

here is a close-up of the mirror wire harness. It is PIN #12 for ground and PIN #13 for +12 volts. This is where I carefully cut and exposed the conductors inside the wire and make a loop with a pick. This keeps the factory wiring intact and the same length so everything reinstalls properly.

Here is where I poked the new wires through the loops and rapped them around before soldering and re-insulating. Doing it this way keep the integrity of the factory wiring while providing positive connections and better yet, everything lays back down in the original wiring path.

Here is the hole I cut. The card is dual layer in this area and once you use a hole saw the size needed in both the outer and inner layers, you use a Dremel tool with a small cutting wheel and expose the inside layer so you can fasten the locking nut down and then glue after you have angled the projection as you like it.

A view of the inner door card and how I cut the inner layer of plastic with a Dremel to give me room to tighten the nut down then angle and hot melt glue.

The outer layer (bottom of card) hole. My logo projectors came with a small hole saw and it worked great. Drill from this side through both layers of card. The see next pic on how I enlarged the inner hole for easier accessibility

Here are the connectors I used. They are AMP connectors but any two conductor plugs will work. These were about $8.00 a set.

Here is the door side of the mirror harness connector. Pin #12 ground and #13 power as before. Notice how I cut the insulation only leaving the conductors in tact and then using a small pick, make a hole to insert the new wires through and then rapped them, soldered them and re-insulated.

This is right before I soldered and insulated. Notice how everything lays back in the factory direction and the integrity of the factory wires are not compromised.
