Oh, and you can't miss which connector it is.

The wire coming out of the door/window area where the mirror mounts, just runs down about 4-6 more inches below what you see in the pic, and the connector is right there. Its not hidden or taped over or bundled with other stuff.

Does anyone know if you have to buy the whole new mirror assembly? I see that there are Toyota part numbers for just replacement mirror glass for heated mirrors. They are only $75 each. I wonder if I could just replace the glass in my non heated SR5 ones. I really don't need a new housing and the power adjust is fine. Thoughts?

Have to buy the whole mirror assembly, can't just buy the heated mirror. Your SR5 does not have the electrical connection mate that is in the heated mirror housing, nor the wiring. AFAIK no one has been able to do this; and it's been discussed.

Only other option is to go Muth or buy Toyota/aftermarket.

Remove the door panel, remove mirror, put mirror in place, tighten nuts, run wire, replace door panel. Very simple actually.

I'ld give a 2 star difficulty rating out of 10.

One of the best mods I did.

FYI, the rear defroster switch controls the the mirrors (20 minute on time).
Does anyone know if the early 2000-05 heated mirrors would fit a first gen Tacoma? I am looking to find some that I could install on my 98. All I hear about aftermarket is don’t waste your $$$.
Thanks

No Heated Mirrors??????
I bought 2 new heated mirrors from Amazon (GoldShrine) for my 2004 4Runner SR5, plugged them in (5 wire to 5 wire), started the truck and hit the rear defroster button and they never heated up???? Any thoughts out there?

Blown fuse possibly, check the fuse.

Does anyone have info on added heated mirrors to an 03?

Also.... I thought that it was a "no-no" to use the rear defroster.
Something about the glass breaking...

So maybe I could just reroute the power from the back glass to some new heated mirrors?
