I was in the same boat as yoU! Sat there for an hour with the sills off figuring out WHAT IN THE HELL TO DO!

However, I never did figure it out... I just took it up to my local Circuit City and they did it for $60... has worked great since!

Good luck!

You can just tap those wires with your existing set up on your blinking mirrors.

Boy those look classy. I may just have to modify my car in a non-performance way for once. Oh wait, I have a wooden shift knob.
