Ralliart Mirrors - Who has wired them?

After 3 weeks fiddling, fabricating and painting them, I have a pair of OEM Ralliart mirrors on my car and converted to LHD from RHD. They look fantastic and it certainly wasn't a cheap project but worth it IMHO.

Now comes the time to wire the Ralliart mirror to the factory mirror harness inside the car. The plugs are obviously different and some of the wires are swapped around as the motors, while they are the same as in the stock mirros, are flipped 180*. I am going to terminate the wires on the Ralliart mirrors with the proper pins and plug so it all plugs together like it should but don't have a wiring diagram for them. I would trace it down with a meter but I don't have a battery or ECU in my car so even if I did have a battery, I couldn't turn on the key to get power to the mirrors.

So what I am looking for is someone that has done it and can tell me what color wire on the mirror goes to what color wire on the car so I can finish the mirror project and get on to other things.

BTW, In case anyone was wondering about the mirrors and what is involved in converting them, here is what you need to know....The mirrorred glass is the same from left to right except that the left mirror has a slightly larger glass and housing (not sure why they bothered). The right mirror will bolt up and have perfect range of motion for proper adjustment with no changes needed. The left mirror will give you a nice vue of the side of the car and that is about it. If you try and shim the motor, it will just give you a slightly better vue of the side of the car. I had to scrap the entire motor mount inside the mirror housing and build a new one that pushed the motor/glass toward the rear of the car in the mirror housing and allowed the motor to sit almost parrallel to the front of the car. I also had to grind parts of the motor and the bracket that holds the glass so that it would all fit into the new position on my fabricated bracket. The end result is a near perfect range of motion and something that looks factory. When it was done, the glass fit like a glove so there really isn't room for anything to be off in the build process. I will probably get around to pics at some point and post them.

Thanks if anyone can help!

not sure if it helps but here is how i wired my rexpeed ganador mirrors. ill keep looking for ralliart specific directions
driver side: red-blue, black-green, white-white
pass. side: white-white, red-blue, black-yellow

i first cut the stock harnes from the stock mirrors. using the driver side harnes i wired it up following the above to the new driver side rexpeed mirror. after all connections its completly plug and play. i then moved on to the pass. side and did the same.

because i'm **** and i have cutting it wouldn't be hard to make a lil harness with some quick disconnect type electrical crimp fittings. the spade and boot ones. the blue series fits typical car wiring.

the spade pins usually fit nicely into sockets and the boots usually have no problem going over spade type pins in plugs
