Default Possible to make non-heated windows to heated?

I have an '04 GT. I was planning to replace my side mirrors with folding ones, unfortunately, mine or non-heated and the folding ones are heated. I would believe the heating element is on the mirror and that one would have to connect the wire for the heating element to a switch, more likely the rear defroster. Is this possible?

I actually plan to replace the mirror with a Muth Signal mirror, which is also a heated mirror.

Of course it's possible - a matter of how much grief you encounter. The standard issue - mine's an '02 - worked when you hit rear defroster. Think other folks have done it - dunno if wiring harness still has wires for it. Let us know.[?]

Yes but.....The 04 has a different harness..no heated wire. You would have to run that yourself to each mirror....

Is it as simple as just running a wire from the defroster switch to the mirror or would I have to get some kind of relay or something?

all depends on how much current the mirrors take. 1-2 amps is no sweat.
