Mirror Turn signal
With an LED arrow under the outside mirror glass installed (iJDMtoy LED-SKU331 ) I am wondering where forum members have attached electrically to the turn signal system?
With prior LED light additions, Front bumper " always on" running lights, and LED flex lights within the front headlamp assembly I started from the fuse box on a "key switched" circuit.
My SL600 has no side turn signal light. Where would you interface with the wiring?

i looked within the wiring bundle tucked beneath the door sill which is usually
where MB tucks the turn signal wiring. to isolate, you can try to identify the
color code via the rear turn signal and they attempt to locate same in the door
sill.
to verify, i just use very fine pin/needle end leads to the volt meter. activate
turn signal and when your volt meter deflects in sync with the signal, you know
you have the correct wire
another technique you can use, if you have a small signal generator and audio
pick up detector is to inject a tone into the rear turn signal wire and use the
pick up probe to identify the wire in the door sill
my 210 didn't have turn signal outside mirrors so i retrofitted them to my car
using the above technique(s).
