Here’s the pictures I took, sadly it seems that both of the connectors are inside the door panel also it was quite dark out and I couldn’t really see what I was doing, except when I took the picture and it flashed - I can try again tomorrow if you still need assistance.

I know, but I can’t get to it tonight, its dark and it’s all in the door. I tried tugging on the wires a bit, but I didn’t want to screw up anything. I remember being able to pull it up before when I first had them on. I think that if I try again tomorrow I may be successful.
But now that I think about it I have had it in to Honda to fix a rattle in the door panel on the drivers side and the passenger lock doesn’t like to work all the time, I guess its possible that they changed it around a bit...

Sorry, just thinking out... type I guess

WEAK. BUMP for gotti's sake. i know what it's like to look at wires and say WTF. here's what you *could do. snip the wires, and splice in some extra wire. (the extra is so you don't waste the factory wire inside your door. god knows how hard it is to work with short wires. make sure you clip the wires a bit back from the proprietary harness, so that you can preserve the wire color coding . anyways, just do trial and error from there. if you want, you could throw a couple fuses onto the end of each wire. btw, this is for testing purposes. if you can't get it, splice a wire off a signal lamp and run it to the mirror! easy peasy, lemon squeasy.

yea... I think the problem I was having afew nights ago is that the connectors are down in the door panel, and the slit/crack/opening where the wires go is too small to get it out. I think that if I look in the daytime I will see a way to pull it/them out, or at least be able to peer in there, maybe with a light, and see what goes where.

yea, i guess.
i kinda thought you basicly ment hooking them up to the car, is that what you mean?
i dunno. i would still be nervous. when i was in electronics sometimes stuff would work when hooked up wrong (i.e. microphone will work for output, for awhile) and then it would break. i suppose with fuses it would be alright.... i always scared of breaking stuff i guess
