    any ideas? heated mirrors

    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?

    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
