just to verify, the blue and green wires in the
center of these pics are the folding and unfolding wires.. is that correct? I tried a 9v a the end of the harness and nothing is happening for me... im just trying to verify that these are indeed power folding mirrors lol

I can't tell from your picture, here's a zoomed out picture of mine.
It's these two wires (circled):

Also, If you have the blue on + and the green on -, flip the wires around to see if it does anything (blue on - and green on +)

ok I got them installed...

but I do think I will need to swap out the driver side motor because the angle is off... also its works with the press of the button only, not automatically... everything was plug and play.. didnt even need to do the 3 relay honda wire method...

one issue I am having is my park assist is disabled and I am getting flashing lights on the dash saying such. not sure why yet.. also the mirrors from Japan had an extra set of wires compared to the US edition..might be why im having an issue with the park assist.. still trying to figure it out.

here's a pic of the switch I picked up...

this is the link to were I got the switch.. and no new wires were ran.. direct plug in. only issue is the angle of the driver side mirror is off a little bit. but I think when i swap the insides of the mirror, it should be fixed.. at least I hope so.. Also as a reminder, the auto button on the switch does not function as intended.. i mean the button physically works, but does not automatically fold the mirrors when the car is turned off..

Thanks for the info!

That switch won't work on my car, it's a 20 pin, I have 22 pin (no memory seats in my car).

Did you check to see if your memory seats work?

If so, you lucked out on everything!
