Power Source (And lights?) for Heated Mirrors...

I need a power source for heated mirrors. I was told they draw roughly 1.5amps. I have some good 12ga automotive wiring, and a 10amp on/off toggle switch.

The plan is to run the wire from the power...to the switch, then 2 wires to the mirrors from the switch, then ground out the negative from the mirror.

My current thought is to get a fuse piggy-back, run the power from the fuse box, and run a in-line 5amp fuse before the switch.

Any better ideas? Or better places to get a key-on power source?

Also, does anyone have a wiring schematic or color-code list for the wiring harness in an 02?

I THINK I know which wires to tap for the blinkers/parking lights... but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks in advance!

I dont have the schematic but I tapped mine in from a switched 12V feed from the harness at the steering column.

I will see if I can find the post with the wiring color and location.
