Default power mirror swap!?!? wheels? new PicknPull!!!

right now i have the manual mirrors with lever on inside to turn them(lever dont work no more and mirror does what it wants)...

so...

was at the new Pick n Pull today(THANK GOD, this place was badass, had bout 8 first gens), and noticed one of the trucks had the power mirrors and and the switch above headlight switch =O,

so i went up to the guy at the front and asked how expensive they were gonna be.... $17 mirror ea and $5 switch?!?!?!?! didnt have money on me at time, so told him id be back tomorrow...

so what exactly all do i need, 2 mirrors?, 1 switch? any harnesses i need to grab? or maybe a relay under hood or dash?

any special tools?

oh and get this $15ea for any steel wheels with or without tire(tire free), and $18ea for aluminum, what vehicles are interchangable with wheels?(will just get dakotas, if there aernt any) so when i buy my new tires i want them to have there own set of wheels so i can have backups....

one more thing, anything else i should look for? anything that would be an upgrade?

I believe the wires are there. Try pulling your door panel and take a look to verify.

FAQ has the list of the wheel interchange.
Wheel bolt pattern:
1987-1990 5 x 4.5" (lots use this bolt pattern from Chevy's to Toyota)
1991-2009 6 x 4.5", 6 x 114.3 (rare, hard to find)
Wheels that will work for the 6x 4.5:
91-04 Dakotas, 98-03 Durangos, All Vipers, and 05-08 Nissan Pathfinder/Frontier/Xterra, 04-05: Cadillac SRX, Suzuki Equator 08-09.

Bolt pattern all makes and years:
