On the drivers side, I jacked up the car to get access to where the hood latch runs through




In ran just the power wire for the blinker through (red) into the engine compartment.. The ground (black) was grounded inside the cabin. I crimped a ring terminal on the ground wires




To access the blinker circuits, I popped the top of the bumper off and removed both headlights. There is a bundle of wires running under each from inside the fender. The driver's side power wire was hooked to the smaller green striped wire here



Like so




and the passenger's side goes to the green wire here



Like so




I decided not to use the white LEDs (gray wire) as I don't know if its legal to have white running lights on your mirrors here. I may hook them up so I can switch them on/off at will.




Here's a video clip of the blinker in operation:
