Which mirror wires belong together?

My first post here. I am driving a 2010 VW Polo with 1.6 diesel-engine and am very happy with it. I hope to be of help to others and also get some help when needed. Like now. The enclosed image show wires for the left side mirror and I don´t know which ones to connect. Had to replace that mirror and the colors of the cables now don't match. But with the right help, maybe it doesn´t matter?

I have the Haynes workshop manual, but I can´t seem to find the relevant wires on its images (see attached image). :-/

With these diagrams, it'll be easier for you.
You just need to get an image that isn't as bright as the one you're showing... with so much light, it's very difficult to distinguish the colors of the wires...

This is fantastic! Thank you so much! The only difference here is that on this new image, there is a black/blue wire that I don´t seem to have on my Polo. The one that should connect to the white wire. I guess it corresponds to the black wire on my car. Or maybe the one on my car actually is black/blue. Why wasn´t this fantastic image in the Haynes workshop manual, I wonder. Again: thank you!
