I have them on my car set up like you want to. You have to figure out which wire is the ground, which is the blue or amber positive. Just connect the, should be black wire to ground and hot the other 2 one at a time to see which is which and then wire the correct one into your signals. The easiest way is to run it to the front turns.

Don't know if it will be the same on your yr but i have a 2005 dodge neon sxt. with the same mirrors. mine did come with a lil piece of paper with japenese letter and a wireing diraphram but doesn't show you what to connect to what wire so it took me acouple days to get it right.

i wired it to the rear lights because i didn't want to run it through the firewall, which was a mistake. because the rear taillights only has two lights the brake light acts also as a turn signal light there for by wireing the side mirrors light into the rear taillights turn signal light makes the lights ont he side mirrors come on whenever the brake is pushed in. the way i found out which wire in the rear was the turn signal was, i unplugged the harness from the taillight and then i took the turn signal wire from the new m3 mirror and touched the prong inside the harness of each wire untell the light came on and flashe don the m3 mirror then i wired it into that wire once the time came to do so.

now i would rather have ran it to the headlights turn signal since theres only one bulb that acts as a turn signal and only that.

the hardest thing will be to figure out is the power mirror wireing if you don't have a book, but if you don't have power mirrors then you got off easy.

one wire from the m3 is amber other is blue, just test it on front or rear harness like i told you and you will see which is which.

i used amber as turn signal than ran the bllue led wire to a switch inside to a custome fitted whole in the side kick panel.

anything else you need to know about this , email me sysrq@comcast.net because i don't come here often.

There should only be 3 wires per mirror, I am not quite sure what you mean by the 2 different sets of colors. I wired mine to the front parking lights, you can connect the amber power wire to either side of the bulb harness. Just touch the black wire from the mirror to the negative battery terminal and then try each of the other wires, the one that lights amber is the one your gonna use, just tape up the other one and run the wires. When you install the mirrors, just find a good ground, you can connect to a body bolt, the cig lighter ground, run it to the battery, or any other ground.
