The nice thing about the Ex one is that it controls your headlights automatically. I didn't know if I'd like that feature or not, but I've decided I really do. But the Ex mirror doesn't have the compass/temp display like those nice aftermarket ones. But hey, that's what the OHC is for, lol!

haven't got anything installed yet but started to dig into finding the right wires heres what i found there are a total of 8 wires going into my head light switch
starting at the top left going down
black - ground?
green/white - only hot when the ignition is on
white/black - Parking lights come on when when this wire is grounded out
Purple/Blue - Hot when headlights are on
Top Right going down
Blue/Red - Hot when parking lights are on
Orange/Black - only hot when the ignition is on
Black - Another ground?
Red/Yellow - Always hot
The only wire that i don't know what to connect to is #30 on the parking lights relay
should i splice it into the white/black, the green/white, or orange/black? Or can i cheat and hook it into the red/yellow with the other relay?

This is how I would do it if I had an 04~06.
Another difference: in the instructions for installing the autolamp mirror in the earlier trucks, the Red/White from the mirror was tapped to the Yellow/Black of the radio harness. The corresponding color code in the 2004~2006 radio harness is Black/Pink. Tapping the Red/White to the Black/Pink wire would give autolamps in RUN or ACC. To have autolamps in RUN only, I would tap the Red/White of the mirror to the Black/Light Green of the HVAC control panel.

Which mirror are you trying to install?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have the OEM 1995~2001 Explorer autolamps/autodimming mirror:
Check to make sure that the mirror is providing ground on the white/pink to the 85 pins when the ignition switch is on and it is dark enough for the photosensor.
Check for battery voltage to pins 86.
Also, the mirror's autolamp function must be turned on for it to work. Earlier mirrors have a dedicated on/off switch but later ones have it built into the slide bar. If you have a later mirror, be sure that the slider is not all the way to the left (off position).

The set of two independent relays just mimics the action of the two independent sets of contacts in the headlight switch (one set for the headlights, one set for the other exterior lights and dash illumination).
