so, as you guys know. im getting used to my new 4runner as a daily driver.
one of the biggest things that i've missed that i never thought i would is mirror defrosters...
so, has anyone here ever worked in a shop that has installed these aftermarket or does anyone know if there is such a thing as aftermarket mirror heaters? (enter LDUB link here)
i would pay pretty well to figure out a way to get these on my new ride.

ok, searched on all wonderful google... what do you guys think about installing some of these?
www.heeters.com/snbgrips.shtml
the pads that are the second from the last on the bottom. just a sticky heater element with 2 wires. hook up em up to a switch on my dash and voila!
the only problem is getting the mirror off without breaking it.
what do ya guys think?

ya, that would be a reasonable suggestion coming from an arizonan. guess you've never stood in -2 weather with a 40 mile an hour chill at 5am eh?

Hi i think you may find the wiring is already there - just take some mirrors off a trooper that has heated mirrors
the heated mirror switch goes just behind the handbrake next to the mirror adjuster
cheers
