cracked side mirror and housing

Specs: 2011 T4R Trail

Cracked my passenger side mirror and housing today. The whole unit needs replaced. I'm assuming this is a fairly straightforward task but haven't found it in a repair guide yet.

I'm browsing parts at toyotapartsales.com, and it looks like I have the option of ordering mirror assy w/o signal lamp or w/ signal lamp. I currently do not have a signal lamp but would be happy to add them (I would replace both mirrors in this case). Does anyone know if the wiring is already there such that I can swap in the assy w/ signal lamp?

Don't buy aftermarket

My wife caught the driver side mirror pulling out of garage and crack the plastic part and a few weeks later she got rear ended and the bumper had to be replaced. So while at the body shop I had them swap mirror and they put on an after market, while it looked perfect, it was crap. As we drove down the highway the actually glass part of the mirror vibrated bad.

I just ordered a new one from the dealer and the swap is very straight forward, in my case I had to swap the painted shell and put it on the new mirror.. I'll be taking the aftermarket one back to the body shop for a refund.
