Default Replacing side mirrors with turn light

Anyone changed out the old side mirrors with one of the turn signal retrofits? How hard was it to string the wires and connect them? Worth doing?

My spouse's dull Hyundai Genisis has them. Snore. Seems like a waste of time and energy.

I'd put my money somewhere else on the car.

The challenge with the C6 is isolating just the turn signals.

If you connect the mirror/light to the front turn signals, then they will turn on when the DRL's are on.

If you connect to the rear turn signals, then the mirror lights will turn on with the brake lights.

Euro BCM's address this as separate turn signals and side-repeaters are sometimes required over there.

They work great on an F-350.
