The switch for the leccy mirrors were on the dash to the right of the steering wheel IIRC.

My old 94 was on an L plate.

Yeah I've got them on my ltd ed WRX STi - electric folding. They go in with a touch of the button - very nifty!

I sat there and tried to visualise the old dash.

I am pretty sure it was on the right hand side of the steering wheel along with the electric adjustment for the mirrors themselves

But I wouldn't say Final Answer on it

The switch is on the right hand side of the steering wheel next to the switch for positioning the angle of the mirror.

Does anyone have the part #s for the electric folding mirrors? I have a MY99 2.5RS (I'm in the US), and of course we do not get the cool toys. I want a set of these just to be different.

Thanks,
Scott
