Has anybody retro-fitted a heated lock set. Wanted to know how easy/hard it was and where they are powered from.
thanks.

I've done this mod, my SE had the wiring connector already in place by the lock area.
You'll need the lock heater element which is part of the barrel clamp and the short wiring loom with the relay. The relay bolts to the door handle bracket and the heater slides into the side of the barrel.
When the door handle is held up for about 5 seconds with the doors locked it starts to heat up the barrel. Iirc it takes a minute or so to take effect.
