please help, side mirror issue

ok so im completely stumped and annoyed.

i got these after market side mirrors for my 08 C350 (exact like the ones from this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ers-139-a.html)

i have no clue how to wire the puddle lights so i didnt, thought they would work without them, but no, turn signals did not work.

so now i have error messages for both left and right mirror turn signals AND the turn signal green arrows on my dash are blinking crazy fast.

1. for those that bought the same ones, did it come with LED bulbs for the turn signal? what kind of bulbs? i didnt even see any turn signal bulbs inside the housing.

2. will they work if i dont wire the puddle lights? or did i just get defective ones.

3. how to disable the stupid error messages and fix the crazy fast blinking green arrows? (i can live without turn signals in my mirrors)

Thank you!

sorry you're having so many issues. When I was looking into this mod a few months back, it seemed like everything was almost plug and play besides the puddle lights. I don't even think anyone did the puddle lights and the blinkers were working normally. Try PMing the people from the thread. (yes I know I'm not being helpful here).

ok, that helps, because if it should work without the puddle lights then it means i got a defective unit, or two units.

are there any actual bulbs in the unit? cus i didnt see any. where are the blinker lights coming from?
