I think you wire them into the side repeaters in the wing?

Is it all built in to the wing mirror? Should have the resistors built in if so. There will only be two wires on the side repeaters positive and negative just splice them into that circuit. It won't create any problems but if it flashes too fast you need to add a resistor.
Test them on a car battery first to test the flash rate.

Question are....
Was there a wiring diagram?
Are they stand alone indicators?
or are they side markers + indicators?
Or do they have a built in relay?

Bought them second hand, guy never fitted them, lost box and destructions...
side markers ? They are just 2 dtm style door mirrors with built in led indicators - they have 3 wires coming out, no idea if built in relay ?
Thanks for helps though

You need to wire the black wire to earth and the white wire to a live indicator connection,.The blue wire is for a parking light / side marker then. Don't have to wire it up if you don't want too.
