Default electric door mirror

how easy/difficult is it to make a mk6 escort manual door mirror become electric? is it a simple case of buying the door mirrors switch and hooking it up? or is it not possible

its piss mate all the wiring is there behind the doorcard and the drivers mirror has the switch on it, it dont even matter if you dont get the right colour mirrors as its only 3 lil screws to change the motor into your cases
