G550 4x4^2 Owners! USA spec

I have a USA spec 2018 G550 4x4^2. I have some things I would like to fix. first would be the turn signals in the review mirror. for some strange reason Mercedes decided that these do not need to be active on this vehicle. So I would like to fix this. Secondly is the one touch for windows and sunroof. Again for some reason they decided that one touch up, or closed is not needed. but my 2013 c350, 2013 Gl450 all have one touch close. so wtf. finally an easy method for getting the roof lights to work on the led light bar. I know brabus makes a wire harness but that's an expensive route. any ideas... oh and I ordered the European rear bumper skid plate because the USA one is awful, rough cut, not even grounded smooth, hang ups for off road, and just doesn't fit the look as its does in European Spec. So at this time I want to install the OEM trailer receiver bracket mounted to the frame. anyway these are the ideas. Any advice, input, tips, or ideas on how to get this done would be greatly appreciated.

1 - Turn Signals on mirrors can be done. There is a thread about this.
2 - One-Touch windows don't work on any G Wagon (not just the 4x4).
3 - You have to get the lights wired in the Light Bar. BRABUS is easiest, but there are other ways. Again, there is a thread about this.
4 - I strongly advise adding some reinforcement to the Bumper/Fuel Tank once you remove the US-Spec Bumper Guards, as the Euro-Spec Skid Pate doesn't really offer any protection.

There are a few threads already mentioned, have a look on the W463 forum, or do a quick search.
