The connector you have looks like a sunroof connector but I think You have a sunroof so cant be that.

Ahh sunroof, nope don't have one.

Grr ah well.

You maybe able to modify this using the live and earth for the mirror its just a case of knowing which is which on the loom part.

But no gain, as all (except reverse) available from courtesy light....

Sorry being vague again basically like Tunnie I have a piece of loom with the connector in and would like to just wire this into the roof to get the mirror working.

So like me you just want it to work at night? - No memory seat options. (pointless for me as i don't have memory ones)

Then basically nixoro you will have the same setup as me, i too have the loom connector for the dimming mirror from the '95 elite.

Using that, as TheBoy says you can splice into the a live feed off the courtsey light & a reverse feed to earth it.

If you can hang on a few days I am sure I will get my fitted with the help of TheBoy, i'll then post up pictures of which wire goes where! Smiley

And you've got no option to manually dip it as well Sad

. Nor a blind (which cuts down on dazzle from behind) Sad

.

We'll try and get a how2 posted either at weekend or next week, as I'm busy on something else this week.
