I just did this myself. It's quite easy if you get all the wiring harnesses.
Its a lot harder to get the harnesses with their special grommets installed
correctly in the doors than to figure out the wiring. The main thing is to
have your Bentley handy. My experience may have been more difficult than
some due to the donor harnesses coming from a van with power mirrors, locks,
and windows. All in all A worthwhile and satisfying afternoon project.

I'm considering converting my manual mirrors to power.
Before I search out a pair, I would like to find out
how easy....or not.... the conversion is electrically.
I know the mounting on the door is different, but what
about the electrical?

Thanks,
Brian
