Ive brought a set of mirrors for my classic WRX that have come from a JDM WRX (Thankyou Kev). Being as my scooby is a euro model it never had the wiring setup for the mirror folding function. Ive got the switch thats needed for folding the mirrors but by the looks of things 2 wires are missing from the loom in the middle console aswell as inside the doors. Would this just be a case of placing 2 wires from the switch to the mirrors or is it more than that?.

Were would the plus voltage come from? or is that already there as the mirrors can be electricly adjusted anyway? (that works fine).
Thanks in advance for any replys.
Or could someone supply a diagram?

Ive just done the same and was about to post a similar post!

All i need is a picture from the back of someones switch and a pictures of the wires for the mirror.

As an aside, how many wires do you have coming out of your switch and how many out of the mirror?

I have 10 from the switch and 6 from the mirror if i remember correctly. The strange thing is my mirrors have 2 wires going into one connector so essentially only 5 of the connecting slots are being used. Ive tried giving each of the wires a 12v supply to see if i can find which one does what but nothing happens.

Ive got mine sorted and they work perfectly, try the link out below.
Ive got 5 wires in the drivers door and 3 in the passanger door, the 3 in the passanger door are only for the electronic adjustabilty on the mirrors as are the top 3 wires in the drivers door. The bottom two are for letting the mirrors fold. You will need to lay two wires to the passanger door and two too the switch in your console.

Great thanks, so 2 wires from the switch to passenger mirror or from drivers mirror?

I hope to be fitting mine soon, that page has solved all my worries, need to paint them first though!

Anyone know how to dismantle for painting? I cant seem to get the mirror out without it feeling like its gonna break.
