08 g35 signal mirrors. How?

Im new to the G. Just picked up a 08 G35 sedan for my girl a few weeks ago. She got everything she wanted except signal mirrors I would like to install them, but i dont have a clue where to start. Im pretty handy in the garage, but need a little guidance as to what to purchase. A link to the produce would be great. Ive seen a few but ive also seen many reviews stating they only work for coupe or whatever.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think DJ paid someone to do them for him!

I did the job myself and its pretty time consuming! You gotta remove the door panel so you could tuck the wire through the mirror, you actually gotta take off the mirror to get the wire through.
My wires go straight up to my headlight, through the fender. And they are connected directly to the turn signal. I just spliced the wires and that's it!

You could actually see the red and black wire coming out of the mirror on the picture!

This mod is pretty cool. I was wondering if anybody found mirrors that have the turn signal built inside the mirror like you see on suvs. It has the circles in the mirror where the light gets amitted so drivers on the side of you can see ur turning.

^ yes, except it doesnt come with insallation instructions. so you would have to look up the wiring and figure it out yourself, or find someone who knows what they r doing like i did, and get it done professionally.

You serious?!! You are worry about how hard is to removed the mirror covers?!!!! Damn!! You gotta removed the door panel, the whole mirror itself to get the wire through the mirror! And then find a way to the front headlight or rear signal! Worry about that first and then worry about the covers on the mirror which is the easier thing!

door panel is cake, ive removed tons of those. mirror should be a couple of bolts in the inside of the door frame. replaced a few of those before. getting to the back is cake, installed a system or two before.

I just dont want to break the new mirrors!

Lol!! Be careful with the mirror clips because they break easy! I think I broke one but mirror cover still holds property!
