It is the mirror from my 2011 Fiesta SES.
I kept it as I knew the ST did not come with one.
No, the ST is not prewired but it is very easy to do.

Tapped into the overhead console lights wiring?

Tapped into the overhead console lights wiring?

Yes and No.
You need to run a wire down the A pillar to pick up power from the back-up lights.
Power and ground is available in the overhead.

Backup lights as in illumination? Or as in reverse lights?

I also want to do the same thing, if you have the fuse # or where you tapped in, that would be great

The power to the back-up (reverse) light is used as a trigger.
When in reverse, the mirror is NOT dimmed.

There is no fuse that only feeds the Back-up lights.
It is easer to tap into the BLUE wire in the left kick panel.
This wire then runs down the left door sills to the lights.

It is very easy to find this wire.
Once you find what you believe to the correct wire, use a piercing probe to confirm.
