Take a look at the schematic and make the connections to the rows from the resistors and the columns to the TPIC6C596.

Once its all soldered up, the circuit should be done at this point, power everything up and see if its working correctly, and no rows/columns are mis-wired.

If it is working correctly its time to install it into the frame.

- Clean both mirrors with some window cleaner to remove any fingerprints or smudges.

- The mirror with the LED array should fit in with the inner walls.

- Using some tape that won't stretch(I used regular masking tape), squeeze the walls into a bit to close any gap between the wall and the mirror then tape it all the way across.

- Tape all 4 sides.

- Once the mirror is installed,  mount the DC Jack and switches with some hot glue.

- Mount the PCB to one of the walls with a bit of hot glue.
