Just wired one in my Elite as whilst the model should have an autodipping mirror as standard mine did not as it was factory fitted with recaro leather,so my advise is to remove the interior light and have a look for a oblong black plug with nothing connected to it.If you have it you are pre wired if not you will be better getting a partial section of the wiring loom with the opposite side of the plug fitted.
Once you have it you may find the wiring colours differ as mine did,so it is wise to lokk inside the mirror by removing the back casing.
You will need to take 3 connections from the interior light:
Ignition 12 + volt
Earth 0 volt
12 volt + to stop mirror dipping with the interior light being put on
Wire from reverse in passenger kick panel to stop dipping when in reverse.
Quite straight forward once you have found the correct colour wires.
Actual mirror does appear very slightly green under daytime use but at night dims very qiockly when it is struck by lights from behind.
My only minor criticism of the mirror is it doesn,t seem to be a clear as the original,but expect it is due partly to the green colour and the slightly wider frame casing,but it is quite a good accessory and worth the small amount of wiring required..it took me about 1 hour to do the fit ,but if you read through previous threads you will see I asked lots of questions prior to fitting it...best of luck with it and hope you find it usefull.
