Electrically heated mirrors for an '88 truck?

I live in the great northeast and the winters are a pain. I would like to have electrically heated side mirrors for my truck. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible to do?

Thanks for any insight(s) you might offer.

Yes you can, but its all custom.

You can buy the heating pads online from various sources. A friend of mine (green93) was going to do the same thing.
You just need to be able to remove the mirror without breaking it.

Hey guys...I would be interested in that feature too.

Where would you purchase the heating pads and is there a write up on this anywhere?

Thank you...

Instructions:

1. Grab one (1) gallon gasoline. In approved container of course. Safety first!

2. Pour gasoline on vehicle, being careful NOT to spill on yourself. Again, safety first!

3. Grab match, ignite gasoline.

Viola, heated mirrors!



I'll send you the bill in the mail.

My 08 Tundra has them. They come on with the back window defroster.

My 02 F350 had them as well. Very nice feature on cold winter mornings.
