Default M3 style mirrors on Accord 98

I just bought a pair of M3 style mirrors with LEDs for my accord. there is no wiring diagram and i dont know how to hook up the signal lights on the mirrors. Can someone help me out on this...
There is a red,black and white wires which are a lil thicker in a bunch. and a blue, white and black wires which are a lil thinner. i dunno which ones are for the power mirror and which ones are for the LEDs.

The best thing to do is put them back in the box and return them for a refund. M3-style mirrors look silly on anything but an M3.

I had some "hyper white" SLR style mirrors that turned out to look blue from a distance. It earned me a fix-it ticket, no biggie.

Also, one of the LEDs went out and I sold them on ebay anyways

trial and error my friend...

i'm guessing which ever ones are longer are the power mirror ones because that is a simple install, verses the blinkers which they might give you a lil extra on...

also i'm guessing the power mirrors use more power than leds, so the thicker ones are prolly for the power mirror

I have a pair of mirrors like that myself. They snapped into the OEM harness. I just hardwired the signal leads into the lights in the fender.
