Finally, after having the mirror mounted for like 2 years, got around to wiring it up this weekend. Not sure why I waited so long! I fumbled for a bit trying to find the right wires...then realized I was looking at the wrong harness. Make sure it's the sunroof harness, rather than the map light one.

After that it was 5 mins of wiring and worked like a charm!

Can't remember where I got the mirror, but I believe it was like $20 on eBay. Just had to make sure it had a pigtail. I got the wiring/connectors individually at Advance Auto for like $8

Knocked this out last weekend in under 30 minutes. Was a breeze thanks to the OP's writeup. My mirror had an extra wire (power when reverse on, or something like that) that I just capped off.

sucess!

fantastic post, still relevant and helpful all these years later, just less expensive now. mirror for me was 50 bucks on ebay, had to splice some 14 gauge wire to cover the difference as the mirror wires were to short. my wiring job is not as pretty as this post's but (fingers crossed) my wiring seems safe. funny thing, I buttoned everything up, turned the ignition on, and the mirror did not light up. I panicked and started wiggling things around, turns out, I did not plug the mirror back in after removing it to make working around the wires easier! phew! thanks for the detailed write-up. Will
