I'm trying to wire mirror heating pads that are placed behind the mirror. The heating pads have two wires coming out of them. The wires are blue and brown although i think they should be black.
Im replacing one of the outlets in the mirror with a switch. I want to connect the heating pads to the switch.
The old outlet is wired as a series to three other outlets. As you can see in the picture, i have 2 ground, 2 neutral and 2 live cables sticking out of it.
How can i connect the pads to the switch and maintain the other three outlets as serie?
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Run the two browns (L) to your switch: supply on one side of switch, heater on other side of switch. Join the two blues (N). Join the two greens (PE). Make sure your method of joining the wires conforms to your country's wiring standard.
By the way, Brown is Line per IEC; Blue is Neutral. Line is black in US and other countries not aligning with IEC.
