Not sure if you are wired for the puddle lights on an 06, as far as the heated glass..do you have the defrost switch on the HVAC panel ??

Yes. I believe so. Never really noticed. I guess I have to press it to check. And paddle light I read somewhere it might just be moving a pin

If you have a Defroster switch on the panel, then the heat should work, as far as the puddle lamp pinout goes, this should help: http://www.tascaparts.com/pages/inde...8&pageid=10207 Someone will have to chime in here as I don't remember which pin needs to be changed out.

Thanks I thinks that helps. Read that and picture from Tasca and moving pins confused me. But I think I got it. If u go by Tasca picture u have to move the 16 pin to 1 pin. And 14 pin u have to add a extra pin and wire and run that to the dome light wire.

Another question is do I have to do the same to both mirrors?
