Trying to source a pair of electric folding mirrors from fleabay but when asking sellers if they are electric folding the majority do not have a clue and not interested to look for the part number. Anyway to quickly tell by looking at photos of the mirror housing? maybe by the number of wires in the loom? I read somewhere that six wires is non-electric folding while more than six is probably electric folding? though not sure how reliable this information is. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Check if the connector has a blue and a pink wires in the positions 9 and 10. Those are the wires for the folding motor.
