Adding heated mirrors to US spec FR-S

I live in Chicago and with the winters here I and would really like to know something about adding heated mirrors to my FR-S. Can anyone point me in a direction?

Just kidding. I'm interested too. More so, I'd like the folding mirrows if available.

That was kinda funny actually...

I don't want the complexity of the folding mirrors and the switch that's part of the deal. I canada the FR-S is available with heated, non-folding mirrors!

Partially correct. The mirrors are (manually) foldable.

I would get some motorcycle grip warmers and stick them to the back of your mirrors. Hardest part would be the wiring. You can pick up these heaters for as little as $7 on ebay.

It wouldn't entirely surprise me if the heating wires are already in the loom, so you may just need to change the glass.

The circuit is controlled via the HRW switch, so maybe it's just plug in an extra relay?
