there should be a harness in the door for the lights, you might have to go to the dealer and have them flash it for the light to work.

Has anyone done this swap. I am also wondering if the trucks without the turn signals in the mirror have the plug.

Won't work. I have the correct door modules with the plugs and have the setting in my evic for illuminated entry but even with a reflash it won't work according to Chrysler

Just hard wire them with some relays

All the stuff in the mirrors is LED. You probably don't even need relays if you use decent wire. It's not like they draw much current lol.

That would be pointless. The computer controls whether or not they turn on and when

Run the wire from your existing turn signal.

Mirror swap

Hello Everyone, new to the forum. Just bought a 2012 Ram 1500 4X4 ST. It came without power mirrors but what I'd like to do is change the mirrors to a smaller mirror. Anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes them? Thanks in advance for your help.
