How To: Hook up 1990's Nissan Altima Mirror Switch
So after several hours of horking around with a late 90''s Honda switch (because IMHO it looked a lot better being square), I decided to go with a Nissan switch that fit the stock opening much better. Also, the point I reached with the Honda switch, I had some odd behavior that I felt would have needed a relay to work out.
So here is the Nissan install:

I need to put a shim in the back to make it sit more flush, but for now, it's in and works. Here's the wire codes incase anyone else wants to make the swap:
Delorean | Nissan
-------------------------------
Wh/Brn \
> Pur/Wht
Wh/pur /
Wh/Grn > Blk/Rd
White > Yel/Rd
Wh/Blu > Blu/Blk
Wh/Red > Yel/Blk
In case it's not clear, the White/Brown and White/purple on the Delorean harness get tied together and attached to the Pur/White on the Nissan side.
When ordering one of these on eBay, get one with the harness (wire dongle). You should be able to find this for under $10.
Also, some of these switches have controls for heated mirrors. They'd probably still work, but just avoid them as the wire color codes are different than what I have above.
