hi guys, hope someone can help. I've bought some m3 electric mirrors with indicators. The probem is the stock mirrors have 4 wires and my new mirrors onle have 3. Well 6 actually but three of them are for the indicators (i havent really thought about powering them yet) Does anyone know how I conect 3 wires to a 4 wire connector. Thanks Jim 318ti96

yes it is the ebay mirrors with 'flashers', its not the flash wiring i'm concerned about its the 3 wires that power the electric mirrors. I guess it will just have to be trial and error.
