    Hello,
    I'm installing trailer mirrors and am having an issue finding a lead wire for: Revers lights and marker lights so I can get all the functions of the mirrors working.
    Not sure where I can tape in on each side.

    Hope you find what you're looking for in the wiring guide. Toyota seems to have changed wire colors quite a bit over the years.

    You may want to reconsider tapping the reverse wire for your mirror mounted lights. I chose to wire mine to the cargo light circuit which allows them to be "OFF", activated with doors/unlock (they will blind you), or "ON" at will. Was not interested in the lights coming on every time I reverse, but they are incredibly helpful when backing a trailer at night. I also feel they will be useful to signal that jackass who's following too closely. Just inspected the rocker switch to find the wire color, then tapped the wire bundle under the driver door scuff plate.


    I went with the Boost Auto mirrors, so the marker lights and signals all worked via the factory plug. Only needed to run wire for the reverse lights.

    Thanks that's a great idea. I'll look for that wire tonight.
