    A lot. Check out my build page.
    One option I am considering is swapping the plastic rear view mirrors on my 2014 TRD Off Road with the body color matched mirrors with the built in turn signals.

    Does anyone know if the wiring is already present on the truck to swap to those mirrors? I do have power mirrors, just no turn signal. Wondering if the wiring is already in place to have those signals work if I were to swap.

    Thanks!

    If you have this plug shown by the yellow arrow, and it has a pink wire and a blue wire with a white stripe on the bottom two pins, then you have at least some of the wiring. The wires that go up to the mirrors for the turn signals are buried somewhere between this plug and the mirrors themselves. I'm pretty sure the wires that emerge at the mirrors are pink for +12v and white for -12v.

    Fog light mod!
    I want to do the same thing, scott, but I've read that the TRD Off Road does not have the prewiring for the turn signals. Otherwise that would have been my first mod.

    I'm very sad about it.

    I have not looked in the fuse box to see if I have those wires though.

    If your truck has these wires, it would be pretty easy to connect them up to the mirror lights. I can help you identify which ones do what. :D

    Sub'd.

    I want the turn signal mirrors.

    I read somewhere (I thought was here but can't find the thread now) that the mirror caps are all that need to be changed, and that you can buy mirror caps with the turn signal lights somewhere.

    Also, they said that the body of the mirror is the same, regardless if you have the lights or not.

    All I need is the wiring (where is it?!?!), the mirror caps, and the light housings?

    Where do I find this stuff? If someone knows and can point me in the right direction, I'll do a comprehensive write up.

    I have the tools and the talent, just need the parts! :)

    Confirmed. 2014 off road DC does not have the wiring in place. When I used my meter and turned on each signal I had switching power at plug just no wiring.

    Crap.
