I'm buying my wife a led, anti fog mirror for her birthday and it recommends hard wiring to be connected to a wall switch. I don't have access to above or behind the wall in question, what is the best way to hook this up? Run a wire from the light above the mirror? Or try to go around the corner somehow and hook up to the outlet or switch? Any downside to just dropping a wire from the light? Trying to do minimal damage to the wall.

Your best bet is to fish your wire from the attic and they make skinny sticks total 11 foot. Find where your switch goes down the wall and fish one 14/2 plus ground up from the light switch and do the same thing at the light. What is the switch on the wall for. It seems that you can just tie the mirror using the same switch and existing circuit
