ANYONE CONSIDER SWAPPING OUT 04-06 MIRRORS FOR 07 with the blinkers? Wiring Issues?

I've purchased a set of the new 07 mirros for my 04 tl since B92-P (nighthawk black) is still being offered in 07. how the heck do i wire them into my blinkers? i am an idiot because awhile back i wanted to make my side markers blink together with my blinkers(not an off blink pattern) whether my lights were on or off but ended up unsuccessfully so when i saw these new mirrors i praised with joy, uhhhh, stupid me, here i am back in the same boat but now i wasted 400 bucks... i tried HelmINC online (oem manual publishers) but they are not selling any kind of 07 service or elect. troubleshooting manual. anybody have helpful knowledge of this situation? and no i don't have any friends with an 07 that i could inspect so that's out of the question....i would even offer money directly to the helpful advice giver's paypal account if that's what it takes...please lemme know. thanks.

Does the blinker in the mirror just have a positive and negative wire? Does it uses LED or regular light bulb?

Maybe you can just hook it up to the blinker in the headlights.

How much are the NBP mirrors? I'd consider doing this and making a DIY.

i would've posted pics at the same time i started this thread but i am currently unable to do so, these 07 mirrors were purchased from acuraoemparts.com for 387.94 total price . the details: 76200-SEP-A11ZC IS FOR THE RIGHT 76250-SEP-A11ZC IS THE LEFT YOUR COST IS 181.60 EACH PLUS SHIPPING AND HANDLING 21.79 SHIPPING AND 2.95 HANDLING CALL 561 265-0000 EXT 3
make sure you call that same number that was given to me because if you try looking it up on their website, the 07 model year parts list has not yet been updated. they are good people and happy to help. they didn't seem suprised at all that someone was already calling for these, which i figured was going to be the opposite reaction. by the way they are Delray Acura out of FLORIDA state.

Sounds really easy. Compare the two wiring harnesses. I suspect the new one has 2 more, (+ - ) for the lights.

post a pic of the harnesses.

Thats what I was noticing too! I think you do have to buy the new mounts too. but I haven't seen the mounts with the mirrors off so I can't exactly tell.

nope, i've been checking with Helm and they keep telling me Honda has yet to release it. i've asked dealers and they all tell me they will have it when helm has it. meaning even the dealers don't have a copy while they are selling the 07's

sorry, didn't see this post in time for me to take a pic but i can verify that the new harness only has one extra wire compared to the 04-06 harness and i figured that since it is a low draw LED, i tapped the single pink with black stripe wire straight to the front blinkers. yes it was easy.

So, u dont have to modify anything on the housing? What are the parts you have to buy? Thanks
