AAC Concept Mirrors - HELP PLS!

Sorry to add yet another post on this but I'm still in the dark here. I just got mine (look awesome) but I just can't seem to find one thread where there is a detailed explanation of the install, that is, detailing the wiring. I bought the mirrors and included the DIC option; I'm not going crazy right? this is supposed to make the front side markers blink and then by tapping into them the mirror LEDs should blink as well??

Even the DIY thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257334 doesn't seem to explain how we get from the mirror wiring down to the LED markers (I posted some comments but no replies yet). Am I missing something obvious? I am honestly not at all good with wiring (unless its very clearly explained) so maybe attempting something beyond me, although how difficult can it be?!

Any additional help would be awesome, I'd love to get these on (working properly) as soon as possible!

Included a few pics with my questions from the DIY thread below

1. first shows the diagram (similar version incl with mirrors)
2. second shows what I assume he has cut and spliced together, I've added some questions/comments to that pic.
3. third pic is the finished one, I assume leaving the wire that goes to the "RED(3rd Brake Light)?? - where do we find this wire and then how do we hook in from the mirror to wherever we connect to these LEDs?

** UPDATE: having spoken with Ofer, I now know that pics below are for the side markers only, this is why I was soooo confused as to the relevance of the original post http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257334 pointing to Option3 for the mirrors to blink (its the same principle that's all) **

Assuming you got the DIC "Y" wiring kit, basically the DIC diagram they gave me (at least) is to get the rear side markers to flash, so that's why this totally didn't make sense at all! Its the same principle for the front though, or mirrors in this case.
So it appears that the single Red wire should go to the White on the mirror (there is a separate pairing of White/Black wires - the Black needs to be grounded to another Black/Brown ground).The other end of the Red should connect to the positive of the front turn signal and the Orange goes to something in the door giving power; Ofer suggested a small connector that's for the interior lighting.
Now that all makes sense, what I can't figure out is how we are supposed to get to the front turn signals! This post, although helpful, http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155660 seems to give half the info, I can't see where the wire comes out in the engine bay, maybe we need to remove the front wheel well liner. I didn't look yet. Hopefully someone else could chime in who' done this?!
