Retro fit dipping mirror

Simon240 · 16th April 2017, 11:26

Hi,

I have a dipping mirror off a rover 75 2002 and want to fit it to a 2004 MGZT that has not got the apprppriate loom.

Does anyone which wires from the mirror are which -there are three a black, a white/yellow and green/brown one?

Also I take it that ifI was to wire it into the interior light it would be permanently live and could drain the battery over time if vehicle not used?

Thanks,

Simon

welcome. The thanks goes really to those that helped me.

I'm guessing here, you really only need 2 wires, the 3rd I think deactivates self dimming for reverse.
The other wires at a guess may be for rain sensing wipers and or the interior lights
