Hey, Ive wanted to fit electrics to my car for a while yet, but I dont have the loom in place for the "easy" window and mirror conversion.
Some correctly coloured mirrors have come up in classifieds, and Im wondering If could bodge the wiring myself.
Could I just wire the mirrors up to a switch.. and the battery? Is it THAT simple?
Any clues on this?
Cheers

TTT, ive got the mirrors, and can easily source switch, but I cant get the wiring loom for it, so Ill have to make my own.
All i need to know is what each of the 5 pins on the mirrors baseplates do so I can wire them up.
