Thanks again

You need:
New mirrors, (obviously),
New switch, as you said,
Some connectors from BOTH ends of the wiring: mirrors and switch, in order to get the pins/females out of them and insert them in your existing loom.
To be able to solder, in order to do it properly.
Some lengths of cable, thinwall, your local car electric place or
VWP - thinwall cable,
Ref11 is the stuff, you need ffed and return, both sides, about ten metres will do it.
Once you have done that, it's just two wires from the switch correct terminals to BOTH mirrors, ie: split the two into four, and take a pair to each mirror

I did a thread on this as Tanyatriangles, but unfortunately I've deleted the pics off Photobucket.
Thread still has details though, and if I can help, PM me.

Not really, it took me half a day. Hardest part was getting the two wires each side through the door grommet, which I did with a thicker piece of wire like an old coathanger.

Showed 'em my Mrs once finished, she just rolled her eyes. I think "underwhelmed" is the word
