    I did this mod last year. There are a dozen good write ups on here and that is why I didn't do mine. I made a harness and used a timed relay that I found through one of the write ups here (I have tried to remember and cannot as well as look it up for you-sorry.) job is time intensive but easy. If you have specific questions let me know. I used:
    2013 4Runner mirrors swapped to 2015 Tacoma perches to get heat, signal and puddle
    Truck was wired for turn signals so tapped that harness as well as mirror adjustment
    Created harness for heat and puddle
    All wire was 18g.

    hey good to hear from you on this.
    I am now getting parts together to do this mod.
    I have complete mirror assemblies with heat, turn and puddle.
    Looking for info on best switch and if needed what relay to use.
    Looking for wiring diagram to make it all work.
    I can easily put all this together, just need to know what to use and how to do it. I have plenty of time as I am working from home.
    I have dug up some info on here but if I could get a condensed version it would really stop me from going totally insane with this.
    Thanks to all for any and all help.

    The switch I used came from Air on Board:
    Professional Designer of Rocker Switches and Switch Panels -Air On Board
    Some have tried the Highlander switch but I could not stomach the cost. It has the delay built in if I am not mistaken

    I found the manufacturer of the relay-Wolsten Tech:
    TDRx Automotive Time-Delay Relay (wolstentech.com)
    I would call or send an email-that is how I got the correct one for my application and switch. You will need a relay.

    What mirrors are you using? I never found mirrors that did it all that had the correct door perch mount... Like I mentioned above, my truck had the harness for the turn signals-I just modified the mirror to make that and the mirror adjust part work. For the other I ran two sets of two wires out through the doors on each side. It is easier if you pull the existing gasket and feed everything through. Oh-you will have to disassemble the door panels to get at all this stuff. All the wiring took me most of two days.

    Good luck!
