Default Camaro to Firebird Door Panels Question

So, I searched around on tech. I can not find anything I was looking for. I know a new tab has to be worked around for the Firebird door panel. But my main question is, does anybody have a website as to rewire the mirror panels? Cause, I bought the switch panels as well and I heard that you need to rewire the mirrors into the panel. Any websites on how to do this or anything? Searching on tech really didn't answer any of my questions except for that I need to cut a tab or something.

Nope, I have to splice in the wires into the Power window switch Since I'm switching out the interior. Apparently it's pretty easy but still, Not plug and play from a 1994 Formula to a 1994 Camaro.

yea u do have to splice for the power mirrors. i tried doin it on my car, but it didnt work out. if u wire it up by color, it still works, but not right. there is a wiring diagram someone told me about, but it was so long ago, i forgot what it was.

Not realy, I just used a set of scheres & cut up my camaro switch plate, used a file to get it to fit nicely into the Trans Am plate, glued it into place (used a lot of glue) & threw some body filler at it. Then I sanded, primed & textured it with a textured spray paint & then painted the black on top. It uses the stock mounting sleeve on the bottom from the camaro so the original switch just snaps into place like it did on the camaro plate. I went this direction because I didn't like the look of the TA switch, it was a little too big & bulky, that & I SUCK at anything that requires wiring lol.
