Default RHD Window Wiper Help (92 EG6)

Hey guys, I finally got around to buying a rhd wiper set-up for my car and I'm having trouble hooking it up because I can't find the connector on my end to hook into the wiper assembly. My car has a shaved bay, so wipers were never used. Provided my wire harness does not have the connector needed for the wipers, what can I do in terms of custom wiring to make this work? Sorry if I sound vague guys. Here are some pics of the connector on the wiper too. The pics are close enough where you can distinguish the color of the wires as well.

Okay. And sorry if this doesn't sound right, but would I only have one wiper speed since I'd be using a 12v on/off style switch?

Ok you car's bay is shaved right? I would pull the driver fender and trace the wire harness. Previous owner probably cut the plug.

its hard to tell in the pic but it looks like there is a black wire that would be the ground andthe other wires are diff colors if u play with the wires using a jumper those wires may be for the other speeds so if u get a toggle with multiple on positions like http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CG0Q8wIwAg then u only need one toggle and u couldhave multiple speeds

I'm almost positive he did because he told me he never had use for the wipers anyway.

And yeah, I was doing some reading and the black wire is indeed the ground. The pictures aren't the best, but the solid blue wire is the low speed setting, and the blue/yellow wire is the high speed setting. Radioshack sells a variety of toggle switches, so what else would I need besides the switch? Also, thanks for the help so far.

Okay, so basically, get some wire and have it soldered onto the existing blue and blue/yellow wires. Connect those two wires to the toggle switch. And then connect a wire from the switch to a terminal in my fuse area and use a 15a fuse etc to power it? And this is a question for if I buy the switch you posted.
