Default JDM wing mirrors on UK spec

Can anyone give me some advise on how best to wire in some JDM wing mirrors into the UK spec plugs? I was hoping it would be plug and play, but they have different plugs.

I know the JDM mirrors have the folding motors, so will have to add a switch for that too.

Any help would be great.

Cheers
Marc

When i did mine, though it was a classic, it was simply a case of looking at the wiring connectors.

At the mirrors, the mirror connector had two extra pins to the car loom connector.
At the switch, the same is true.
It was simply a case of obtaining pins to fit in the connectors, (which I got from a scrapped Legacy), and then running a PAIR of wires from each pin on the switch, one to left mirror, one to right.

I made the connections temporarily at first to check that the mirrors opened and closed when the switch said they should, then ran the wires properly and soldered and heat shrunk the connections.

Took me a couple of hours, but that was it.
