I did the power folding mirrors on my S14...Pretty straight forward swap.  You basically tap into the wires going into your existing switch with the wires from the harness of the new switch.  There should be one extra wire on the new switch's harness.  That is the wire that controls the folding option.  You will have to run two new wires (one to each mirror) and those two new wires will be connected to that single extra wire in the new harness.  The rest of the wires should match up with the wires from your old mirrors' wiring harness in the doors.  That is if you had power mirrors to begin with...If not, you've got quite the install ahead of you.  If you've got any questions you can drop me an email...

The mirrors will be at the wrong angle for LHD. You should probably swap the housings.
