New project : 2011 X1 change into LED wing mirror

Hey guys,
i am doing a new project to change for new wing mirror with LED for my 2011.
because of the fashion style & safety purpose for lane change;

*currently my old wing mirror has: auto-dim/power fold,
*and i bought a pair of nearly "new" original LED wing mirror (2nd hand) in internet,
cost about US$900 for a pair.
*also a pair of carbon fiber mirror cover (US$40)
*also consult with some ppl, they said its just plug & play
(but actually it doesnt, we need wiring from turn signal to activate the mirror light signal..)

STAGE 1: all material prepared, also wiring has been done in the weekend from rear signal sight into the front cabin; waiting to connect

STAGE 2: this coming weekend will be opening door panel to replace wing mirrors for connection and testing, good luck for me...

attached some photos of some materials and current car model for better understanding in this DIY ..
