Pretty fly for a white guy *cowbell*
I haven't seen anyone try this on CEG. Their has been discussion that early 98's might have the provisions and just need the mirrors. From what I can tell all 98+ can do this.
Things you will need...
1. Heated mirrors from a pre98
2. Door wiring harness from a pre98
3. Inner door handle from a pre98
4. Driver side window switch from a pre98
It's pretty much plug and play.
Roll driver window up all the way
Remove inner door cover
Unplug door wiring harness
Heated mirror part of the harness has 5 pins.
Nonheated will have 3 pins.
Pre98 mirror as you can see has a heating element. You'll need to take the mirror on your post98 off. You will need 3 different torx bits to completely disassemble. When the mirror is off then undo the 2 torx on the bottom on the mirror. This will give you enough room to get you fingers between the mirror and the cover. Will your handle just pull the mirror off. It feels the threads pull out. This is normal. Then done take the insides of your heated mirror and but them inside the one of your car. The only thing you'll reuse is the painted cover.
When that is done reattach the mirror to the door. When you're done reattach the pre98 inner wiring harness. Don't put the door cover on yet. You'll need to disconnect the post98 inner handle and reinstall the pre98. The pre98 has a clear cover so that the light can shine in the handle.
Also test to see if everything is working. Put key in ignition and make sure your bulb is on. If it is then plug it into the inner door handle.
You'll also need a pre98 switch as the door wiring harness has a different connector for the window switch. If you have the puffy kind of switch and you like the buttons then grab a flat head and pop off the buttons and put them on the pre98 switch.
Post 98 on left and pre98 on right.
Put the inner door trim on and grab a beer. Don't drink too much because you'll need to take the car for a spin at dusk to marvel in your lit door handles. I'll have to wait until Fall to enjoy my heated mirrors. I put the back of my hand on my mirror and they are indeed warm!!!!
