Tow mirror help.

I know tow mirror questions have been ran into the ground and I have probably looked over the right post but I have read so much on these it's kinda all running together. I have a 2001 Excursion with the paddle mirrors with power/turn signal/defrost. My wife bought me some 1A auto tow mirrors for a 2002 which has all of the above with the added running light. So the factory passenger side white plug has a green a purple a yellow and a white/blue stripe. And the black plug has a green/black stripe and a black wire.

The new plug has 1 extra wire because of running lights but it has 2 different green wires does anyone know what wires go to what?

Well I figured out why none of the wire colors were lining up and working. For whatever reason the previous owner cut off the factory plugs and repinned the plug and when he did that he put the wire colors in the wrong terminal. Once I figured that out it was a easy fix and they are done and looking great
