3 wires for mirror motor (up/down;in/out)
2 wires for mirror glass heater
2 wires for fold/unfold)

Heater wires are the two red? ones together at the end or if they are jdm and not heated they will be the fold in/out wires.
Check using a meter or 12v supply.

They have seven wires as listed above - similar to the MY08> shown below.


As shown, depending upon market/option packs mirrors do come with or without heating
