Since there are no installation instructions on the JT page, how do you wire the turn signals to the mirrors? Everything needed for that included in the kit?
That's more tricky since it's not a USA thing. I believe it's European.
I saw a write-up on that somewhere.

I do plan on doing that with mine if I can dig up that write-up again.

For the turn signal

Yes, everything is included in the kit. Unfortunately, we do not have an installation video because we didn't have a car film. However, here is a video of what it looks like. LINK.

The answer is in the text below the video they posted the link to - you must run the wiring in the Jeep itself since that requires wires through the door, to the disconnect connector at the kick panel and into the turn signal wiring.
The mirrors only have the connectors for that, there's no door or other wiring.

The two black wires are for the turn signal arrow in the glass. You have to wire from the mirror into the truck for turn signals unless you have a European Jeep.

Being blinded by truckers behind me on a daily basis, especially in winter... oh that blue is necessary. The reason I have them and will buy them again is for that purpose alone. Just wish they'd offer them without the logo printed on it as an option. Had older models that didn't have that on it, now you're forced to advertise for them for authentication purposes.

I ran my signal wires to a harness I got from quadratec one for each side that plugs into the fender harness for the fender signals. I was the original beta tester for these mirrors but I never did an install video. I'm going on 1.5 years with these mirrors on my jeep plus a few years on my Tacoma and no issues. I love these mirrors and by far one of my favorite mods on my vehicles. Feel free to PM me guys if you have any questions.

“Love these mirrors! The original mirrors are small and hard to see out of IMO, but the Suma mirrors really don’t feel like they are small with the wide angle that they portray...

The blind spot and defroster work flawlessly and installation was a breeze. Thanks Suma performance!” - Jonathan C.
