    Fitting heated door mirrors to a car with non heated ones - what do I need ? The wires are there behind the glass & the switch turns to the heated position, is it just a case of buying the heated glass then plug & play?

    Sorry should have said - 53 plate Ibiza 130 PD with hybrid & larger intercooler so some non standard pipework, the clue was a slight bit of oil around the drivers side fog light!
