You should have an extra button on the electric window switch.

You can just fit these, I have to a classic impreza before

If it's a UK car, chances are they will be electrically adjusted, but NOT folding.

IF they fold, the switch will have an extra button towards the front of the car, actually a little rocker switch, one way for in, one way for out.

I put my own on. You need switch AND folding mirrors, plus about half a day and some cable.

As has been said, your mirrors do not have the motor to fold in and out the JDM one will

The information alcazar gave is correct.
