Default Wiring On Mirrors.

On my Blobeye ive had to change the mirror on the drivers side. Coming from it there is 5 wires going to a block(2 Green,Blue, Light Blue and White).
But ive noticed when ive removed the switch by the handbrake, there is 6 wires coming from it(4 Multi Colour, Red, Black). The button has the function to fold the mirrors in but the mirrors never have.
Is this the sixth wire or something else.
I guessing that the switch was put there ready to get folding mirrors in due course by the last owner. But im sure my old mirrors are pretty much the standard type.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Mirror folding is two wire.

You need two extra at the switch and two extra at each mirror, which it sound like your loom already has.
The two from the switch split and two go to each mirror. Current flows in one direction to open, the other direction to close, so they don't do anything with just one wire extra.
