Well the mirrors will light up just like in the video in the 3rd page and will also light up when you lock/unlock with the key fob.
For my first prototype for my car I will do a circuit board with relays on it and tap into existing wires from the micu but eventually if people would be interested I would like to develop a plug and play unit into into the micu and only connect the mirror wires into the unit I would make

Here is my pcb with and without the relays and connectors on the board. Still got to solder them to the board and should be working !

Okay, so here is what happened, Soldered everything up, made a mock-up of the lights of my car on a breadboard, used a small 12v battery pack and an arduino to generate the turn signal on-off cycle

Here is the LED mock-up



Here is the result (represents night time and activating the right turn signal.



Everything looks fine, but when i do the left, things get messy, both white turn off and right side amber puddle stay on, Seems like there is feedback in my circuit.
Decided to not have amber puddles lights, and the white ones won't turn off when i use the turn signals.
Need to design and make another PCB !
