If you have and know how to operate a multimeter (simple enough), change it to DC and check terminals on the plugs that connect to mirror wiring. That's the first thing I would do.

Not sure about that. Also check if you accidentally reversed the poles when connecting to battery wires. I think these are LED mirrors so reversing the pole would cause them to not work.

+1 on LED polarity.

Grounded? Obviously you don't have a complete circuit. If it's not the ground or polarity, there is an open. Get an ohm meter and ensure all wires are good. Then ensure you have power at the potential side of your connections. Some how you need to also ensure the LED's work in the first place. Good luck.
