Will X5 Mirror from Poland work for US model?
 
Hi,
I purchased a USA driver side mirror from someone in Poland. It looks like its in great shape. All the plugs seems the same, but when I plugged it in, it doesnt work. It doesnt autofold and the mirror doesnt adjust up/down/left/right. Its like no power going thru it. Could it be that people in poland drives on the right side so the connections are wrong? What I mean is that the maybe the wire harness for poland's left mirror is for USA right side mirror. If it is, is there anything I can do to hack it to work?
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.

Why? Because if you're not right, you must be wrong! :nanana:

Also, we're not european, we're British. Our 'integration' with europe a few years ago was just a marketing scam by our wholesome, thoroughly honest, and upstanding politicians old chap! :spank:
