Adding puddle lights to stx

[Lricaud81]

I recently got some boost auto tow mirrors. They have inserts to pop out for puddle lights. I have an stx so no wiring for them but I was wondering if it's possible to run my own wires through door and hook them up to come on with my bed lights I put in that works with my cargo lamps.
Has anyone ran wires into their doors with the factory wiring and how intrusive is it if you have.

I have a '23 STX and added loaded powerfold mirrors and had the wires. I only had to add the wires for the powerfold. Spot and puddle light wiring was there.

Dang maybe I need to find the wiring diagram then. When I was asking boost auto about the mirrors they asked me to send a pic of my plug and said I could get turn signal and running lights but never mentioned puddle or spot

So apparently I'm not smart enough to find and read the wiring diagram. Lol. Does anyone on top of their head know the wire colors I need. Here's my plug

Did they send you mirrors with puddle lights in them?
Don't need to be chasing wires if the mirrors don't have the lights. They seem to only put in what you order from looking at website and leave out the rest of features.

No there's no lights in them I was just thinking if it was possible to add them like I did the bed lights.
Only concern really is getting wire from inside cab into door to go to mirrors

Different mirror design so I don't think OEM would fit. Might want to ask the company before you get too deep into it.

On their website I can get the lights for $50. And it's got a blank on bottom of mirror that'll pop off and light pops in. I'm just worried about getting the wire from cab to inside door if thats possible. I did that years ago putting component speakers in vehicle ran tweeter wire from inside door to the dash. Don't want to chance messing something up on this truck tho

The puddle light wiring as well as turn signal was there on the connector in my 21 xl, but had to be activated in forscan to send any voltage.

I'd sent boost auto a pic of my plug and they said I had wiring for turn signals. They didn't say anything about puddle lamps. I didn't ask either. Lol. I'll prolly start off by emailing them again asking if I have the wiring for puddle lamps.
Heck I'm scared of forscan I still haven't worked up the courage to turn on my turns and do the few other changes I'm wanting to do in forscan.
