didnt find it in the faq's or mods list, so..........................

i want to add heated mirrors, have them, but only the glass. 2 wires go to the glass, so i assume possitive and ground. from what i understand it works off the rear defog switch, so should i tap into that and use a relay to power the mirror,
or, and i havent looked yet, is it prewired to accept a heated mirror if i had the whole mirror? this way i could just plug it in.

 

This sounds alot like how I wired up my auto dimmer mirror.

Yes, I would put the power wire to splice into the defroster and a ground. You shouldn't need a relay....it just needs a signal to activate the heating mechanism on the back of the mirror.

Where you get the heated glass?

Any pics?

 

I would love to add this where did you find the mirrors so I can try to do the same and i thinkyou should be able to tap into the defroster swith wires really easy ill check my hanes manual to tell you what wieres are what let me know if you need me to look at the wire diagram for you good luck and let me know how it turns out I might try this after X-mas if I can find these mirrors anywhere

 

ebay sells the whole thing for like 30 bucks a piece, i got them from a junk yard, cheaper to get the glass, although some places dont just sell you the glass, plus then i would have to swap out the painted part.

no pics. whe i get around to installing them i'll do a write up so it could be put into the faq's

 

cool. Subscribed

 

curious to find out as well . heated glass would be real handy up here, especially with winter rolling in

 

i could be mistaken but i think the plug is already on our doors. I was going to get some btu just didnt feel like it. Its a brown plug right up at the top. on mine anyhow.

 

you are correct, the doors are set for heated mirrors. the defrost button may be different though. but i doubt it.

 

ill check tomorrow

 

prewired... i know the i30s are...

 

i have 3 wires on each side of the plug, no open spots or 4 wires on one side and 3 on the other, so from what i can see its not prewired.
