Default JDM power mirrors... wiring

I need some body to tell me what wires are for the power on the switch. If i can get the power and ground i'm sure i can figure it out. And does it take a full 12VDC or do i need to step it downsome. thanks for any help

The relay. I have heard of people saying you can use a radioshack relay, but i am pretty much positive it will not work. The OEM honda relay reverses voltage in order to fold them in or out. Also, its not just a relay. If you pop one open and take a look you'd see what i mean. Its definatly much more complicated than anything you could buy from radioshack or some electronics store. If you dont have the "relay", i'd say your best hope is to find one from a newer set of folding mirrors. It can probably be used fairly easily.

wait a minute, do you just have power mirrors, or power folding mirrors? the "relay" only applies to the folding variety.

what color is the power and the ground wires on the switch?
power mirrors are useless.
it was cheaper to buy the power set than to buy a passenger side mirror from honda. i checked all the salvage yards around and the cheapest was $70 w/ a cracked housing.
