I was looking into this a while back but forgot about it. After looking on google  for a little while a stumbled on a great guide matey. Very detailed and long winded but i supose if your going to do it properly this is what you should be doing. I think this PDF also explains how to wire up self dimming door mirrors also. Enjoy  :smiley:

Also found on a polo forum where i found the PDF maybe useful:
