Would like to install mirrors with the blinkers in them but am not sure how to run the electrical wires through the door and where to hook them into.

Between the door and pillar there is a wireharness that is for wires bewteen body and door. that is where you should be running them.

Wires should be hooked to the turn signal wires going to either front or rear turn signal bulbs. Additional bulbs might affect the turn signal blinking rate and you might need to replace the relay with one of the correct rating.
