Hi guys,

Would anybody be able to draw a diagram based on the write up so that I can understand this better. I will try to make my own but i'm afraid I will just murder it lol.

Wish I could delete my last post... Wiring diagram is there.

Would 18 Ga wires be sufficient or shud I go bigger?

Most wires are not true gauge as they say. Over size your wire so you have headroom. I would use 20+ gauge to trigger relAys and just incase 16 true spec for power and ground. Realistically those side mirrors most likely won't even draw up to 15 amps

Is it ok to ground the heat pad somewhere on the door and not bring the ground inside the cabin?

Thanks tedmond, yeah I've got 16Ga for power and ground. 15 amps is way too much, i've seen people have figures from 2-4 amps each mirror. I will install a 10amp fuse and see how it goes.
