Default Trying to install M3 Mirrors

I bought a set of M3 power mirrors for my 02 civic and I have no idea where to start... I'm assuming I need to take out the whole door panel and then connect it that way but the M3 Mirrors don't fit the power options smoothly... It has a 4 piece connector and my car has 8?!?!?!?! Anyone know a site that has a "do-it-yourself" on this or does anyone know how I can get this installed?

thanks

I'll help you out.... first you have to take the door panels off (beginning with a little flat head screwdriver to remove the cover right behind the lever)... from there you just take like 4 or 5 screws off that hold the door on and be VERY VERY careful not to break anything when you separate the door panel from the latch that is holding on. Once that is off you can pull hard and pop the little a pillar cover off to expose the lugs that hold on the mirror (3 of them). Unplug the mirror and unscrew the mirror. Put the M3s on the car. Now you have to splice every single wire coming from the original harness and connect them to the m3s. DO NOT take the original plug off, in a few months you will grow tired of your m3's and go back to stock...

I just got my m3s off my car (2004) and you dont need to power them because they will not be able to swivel out as far as the stock ones can, so why waste the time wiring...
PS. If anyone wants my m3's I'll sell them for like 5 bucks and whatever it takes to ship them.

I liked my m3's for a couple months... now I am getting my stock ones painted to match the body (like the ex model). OEM and JDM is my thing now... but JDM is expensive
