Hi,

If you already have folding feature and you have bought the dimming glass, you also need to repace the wiring harness in both mirrors.
The harness is also a LIN Controller. It is not easy to find them in ebay so your best option is to order them at your local dealer or maybe find a broken mirror and remove the harness.

I did it with my friend's car. To install them I had to cut the floding wires (yellow and white) and solder them in the new LIN controller because I did not find the way to unplug the folding motor without remove the spring and folding axle.

Best regards!
