Hi Ian,

Hope you're well...it's been a while...

Quick question for you - one of the first things I did when I bought my S8 nearly 3 years ago now was to buy & fit the auto-dipping mirror - well along with a switch or two to replace those boring plastic covers.

I never did get round to wiring in the mirror and was thinking I needed the harness for it.

Looking at your post above it would appear that I might be able to take the +/-12v from the interior light - ignoring the reverse signal of course but at least it would save me squinting when some pillock comes up behind on full beam!

Would you happen to know what colours on the auto-dipping mirror wiring correspond to +/-12v please?

Can't remember what colours are in the mirror harness but will feel a little embarrassed if it turns out to be red/black!

Thanks & regards,
