Default JDM mirrors/shell swap

well, I got my mirrors the other day, unfortunantly there was no relay, so I'm going to use a radio shack relay instead. If anyone have the OEM relay I would like to buy one. Or knows how to make the radio shack relay act as the OEM.

I did some research and basically figured out I'm going to have to swap shells of my USDM mirrors with the JDM mirrors because the angle of the base is designed for the passenger side and I'm going to have problems seeing.

all explained here: Link

I have a cheapo haynes manual which was enough until now, from the info in the link above the HELMS manual tells exaactly how to take the side mirrors apart, base/shell/mirror. I need some assistance, can someone with the helms tell me where to start?

I will do a detailed article on wiring the JDM mirrors to the switch as well as how to swap the shells, so people can even save on having to repaint them.
