I'm fairly certain you would need the wiring loom and the door card aswell as the mirrors, not likely to be an easy job

wiring loom would need upgrade or modification time consuming and is it really worth the effort tbh....

would be a nice thing to have i think x but if its to much messing aroung i dont think ill bother but ill keep lookin and check out how much it will cost first. which car do i get the door cards model ect???

I did this mod on my 75 ELX ages ago. It all started when I took the drivers door card off and spotted the spare connectors on the loom that needed to go to to switch and to the mirror motors. I then checked the wire colours were correct to the Haynes manual. I replaced the two button electric window switch panel to one from a GT and connected up that extra wire to the mirror pad switch. Replaced the tatty old manual wing mirrors with new painted electric ones and connected up. No extra wiring was required as all the fuses/relays present in my case. It even defrosts the mirrors when the rear defrost button is pressed!
Your car may be different, firstly see if theres a couple of spare leads that are not attached in the drivers door before continuing to source parts!
