Default M3 Style L.E.D. Power Mirrors for 1996 Civic

I purchased a pair of L.E.D. power side mirrors and I'm having trouble finding someone to install them for me. Can anyone help me or tell me how to install them myself?

um... wire it to your signal wires. remove the oem side mirrors. pop open the triangle plastic piece inside the car, 3 bolts holding the mirror and slide it out.

^+1 Totally simple. There's no need to have anyone do it for you.

use your fingers to pull that little plastic triangle off the inside of the door. It has one clip holding it on. There are 3 10mm nuts behind it holding the mirror on. Remove those and pull from the outside. Mirror comes off. Unhook the plug for the mirror's power stuff. Installation is reverse of removal. Take the two wires for the LED and run them somewhere incon****uous. You may want to add wire to it so you can run it all the way to the front blinkers. Tap those wires to get your power. I think those kind have 3 wires. One is ground, one powers an amber LED, and one powers a blue LED. Use whichever one works with your local laws on external automotive lighting.
