Look in the kick panel on the driver's side. The wires that go to the rear lights run down that side. As far as colors just go to the rear and take a test light or meter and test the wires at the bulbs and look for the same color wires in the kickpanel.

I am doing the same thing to my 91 integra. Do I need to use a relay when tapping into those wires?

Nah, led's don't draw that much current. At most up the fuse by 5 amps.

You are going to need a meter or at least a cheapo test light for this( I only say test light for this is because you are testing for a wire that isn't going through a computer) For the parking light wire on both mirrors, hook this up to a RED / green wire, this wire will have power when you turn on your parking lights and headlights. Then go to the trunk and find the wire for each turn signal. For the d.side turn signal, turn on the left turn signal and go to the trunk. Find the wiring that goes to the bulb that is flashing. Test the wires, there will probably be two or three wires there, and see which wire has power when the light flashes. Once you have the color of the wire then go to the drivers kickpanel and find the wire there and retest, if it tests correctly then hook the white wire from the led mirror to this. Then repeat for the passengers side, turn the right turn signal on, go to the trunk, test for the wire, look in the d.side kickpanel for the same wire and if it test correctly then hook the passenger's side white wire up to the wire that works for the right turn signal.
