how would i say- install heated mirrors from the 1993 se to a 1990 se? is it straight forward or am i missing a major component?
just asking the masses before i get my hands dirty.

 

you'll need wiring and a switch.
the heating element wiring was surprisingly thin.

 

The SE's came with a heated mirror feature? I thought only GXE had it.

 

damn i didn't even know about this. i have to check my SE to c if it came equipped with heated mirrors.

 

92 up SE had the heated mirrors standard

 

What exactly do the heated mirrors do anyway? Un-fog the mirrors if they get foggy? When does that happen? The only problem I have with my mirrors is when it rains, it becomes hard to see, so I wipe them down with a napkin. I never noticed any gains from this heated feature.

 

when you have a sheet of snow on the mirror it cleans it off real well

 

Hm, cool.. Thanks.

I just remembered that I got an SE passenger side mirror from a junkyard awhile back, off an SE and it didn't have the heated feature. The guy even gave me $5 off, cause it didn't have it. I seen the VE inside the engine bay so it had to be 92+. Are you sure they came standard after 92?

 

maybe it had been replaced

 

Hm... I guess so. A nice little coincedence set up to fool people like me who are trying to learn about the 3rd gen.

 

I had the same deal on the mirror I bought for mine originally.
I paid $50 at a local yard non-heated.
I bought a heated one from an orger for $20

 

$50 sounds a bit too high. I got my non-heated for about $25 from the yard. Im gonna check out the org from now on for used parts. Very good price on the heated mirror.

 

it was high.
but I had no mirror on the car when I got it.
