Charles,

The mounting holes are the same except you don't have the third hole on the bottom of the power mirror mounts. You can just drill that there and use a sheetmetal screw instead. The doors which came equipped with them has a captive nut there. There is a hole under the mirror for running your wiring thru. The rest is just a mate of running wiring. It would be best if you got the wiring harness with the mirrors when you get them.

One alternative if you like the look of power mirrors but don;t need the wiring hassle is to install them w/o wiring. They look great and do not flop around like the old manual mirrors. You can still manually adjust them by moving the mirror around within the housing.
