anyone ever retro fitted these?
What's involved and what would I need aside from mirror units?

It's very easy. You don't even need to replace the mirror units. All you need is the heated mirror glass itself.

All that's required as far as wiring is concerned, is to run a pair of wires from the existing electric mirror motor wires to the back of the mirror. There's no control unit or external sensors. Unfortunately, I don't recall which of the motor wires you need to tap into for power.

Black and brown at the back of the mirror motor unit.
