What year is your car? Your park light wire is a white 14 or 12 Gauge wire under the Drivers side kick panel..... I'm not sure if that is for '03-up, but it is for '00-'02. Hope that helps.

As far as the wiring goes......The Turn Signal/Park light wire of the mirror needs to go through the door frame and be connected to the white wire behind your Drivers side Kick panel. The kick panel with the hood release lever built into it.... As far as a ground wire, just find yourself a good ground.....Should only need to connect it to a screw into some bare metal or something. if you do need an actual ground, let me know. Do you have Power M3 mirrors? Did you have power mirrors stock? I have a complete wiring Diagram that I can easily find the wire colors and locations that you will need for your install. Just let me know. I also have a 2000 Neon so it will all be the same.

how easy is it to fit the mirrors on do they go in like the stock ones? I am thinking of getting them for my car

i heard that theyre pretty much useless for actual mirror use, and just good for show. is this true?

As far as the fitment....they are pretty simple.....pretty much just like stock.......The actual mirror is much smaller than your stock mirror, so as far as use, it takes a lot of getting used to.

what i heard was that its not cuz of the size, its because the actual construction of the mirror vs. mount makes it impossible to point the mirror towards a usable direction..

it also doesn't help that the mirror iswavy, and little chips/cracks randomly apear around the edges of the mirrors.. and rocks haven't been hitting the mirrors.

What is wrong with the stock mirrors, m3 mirrors are meant for m3's. I say keep your stock mirrors and paint them the smae color as your car.

I like my black ones though!

i dunno about painting my mirrors that bright yellow color. maybe a nice gloss black.

i miss my stockers.. the onyl reason i bought m3s was kkuz i was a ricer, adn when i broke my pass. side mirror when i fell asleep on the freeway, i was cheap, and i didn't wnt to pay 90 dollars for a strock mirro when i coudl get m3s for 40.... i shoudl have bought the stocker. now i'm thinking about getting some f1 style mirrors, and shaving the m3 mounting bases down into delete plates, adn mounting the f1 mirrors on my doors.

Great minds think alike I guess. lol. Naw, do the F1 mirrors before you just go with a single mirror.
