Adding heated mirrors to 02. Relay?

Adding heated mirrors to 02. Relay?
So after an hour long trip a few weeks ago in rain so bad I couldn't really see what was in my side mirrors, I decided to look into adding heated mirrors. I've been researching for a few weeks, ordered a set of heated mirrors (the whole thing) that arrived this week, read the procedure (link below) and I've run into a roadblock. How do you add the relay and get power connected to it?
I definitely don't have the relay in the relay box. Theres a big hole where heated mirror relay is supposed to be. Has anyone done this and had to add the relay?
Procedure I'm using:

You're right, it looks like it was part of the Meridian package even with the GLE.

You would think things like this would be standard, at least on the GLE anyway. But then again, if they were, it would cost a whole lot more and sales would probably have gotten a hit. I'm sure more people, especially up north would love to have this.
Anyway, anyone?

Otherwise I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a few days looking at the schematics, playing around with a multimeter and somehow get it figured out. All this in the little time I dont have .
Totally worth it though!

To add the relay get power directly from the battery or use the common power wire in the fuse box, run a wire from the rear defroster relay to use as your signal wire to turn the relay on/off when you turn the defroster on/off and run a ground. If you know how relays work you should be able to get it done easily.

Also if anyone else has additional info, definitely post, its sounds like theres a bit of interest in this so if this works, we might be able to stickie it.
