They have swapped the wire order around just to keep us on our toes:

old ---> new
left (door open power) ---> left
middle (ground) ---> right
right (constant power) ---> middle

The led also works, but really... what's the point, that thing hardly illuminates the rear view mirror, let alone anything in the cabin!

Thanks all for your help.
Do you think this connector will work?

I've asked the seller to see if they can include the connector from the car, but I'd like to have a back up plan if they can't help me. A few years ago I would have taken the part to Radio Shack and found something, but they have closed most of the stores in my area and there aren't any close to me.
