is that the coiled black cable that runs from the mirror to the car?

any scrapyard will have one. internal mirror's aren't usually sought after!

are you sure, the pre facelifts have both reading lights and interior lights on the mirror, my guess is there'd have to be 3 wires for all that to work? one earth (as the mirror is mounted on the windscreen and not on the body, one permanent live for the map lights and one from the door switch?)

Do the facelifts not have the coiled cable too?

im not sure, i have a facelift model but my mirrow lights aint connected up for sum reason, the cable that is ther is too short and isnt the right connection. so im not sure if both model connections would fit mine
