can I get them for my 04 KJ anywhere and are they easy to install? We had a bit a of snow here this week and it was a PITA to drive around with snow covered mirrors. Had to pull over 3 times.

We get alot of freezing rain and snow up here in Ottawa Canada.....no really, it's true lol

I have them. I don't get any snow or ice, but the occasional frost and it helps a great deal.


call wholesale mopar at 1-800-428-0517 tell them what your trying to do, i'm sure it will just be a simple matter of swapping out your old ones.

My '06 Limited has them too (like I really need them here in Vegas!) Mine come on with the rear window defrost (I think), so it's probably pretty easy to wire them in. Call and find out what's entailed in swapping them and check prices, then call around to compare. Junkyards can sometimes over value or under value parts I've noticed. You might get lucky or just go with the new ones if they want too much.

Keep us posted on this...that's one of the main things I miss from my previous vehicle, too. Here in CNY heated mirrors are a blessing. I'd like to know what's involved in the swap!

The mirrors are on eBay for about $50 shipped. Is it just plug and play? Could it be that easy? Naaaahhhhh.

just buy a set of heated mirrors and swap them out. I have a Limited and the wiring was already there!

bought the mirrors off ebay. my only complaint is that they shake more at hwy speeds than the factory mirrors.

I believe there was a 'Canadian winter package' option. I have the heated mirrors on my Sport model.

Almost as valuable as 'azz warmers' for the winter.

spend the money on factory mirrors, the cheap ones on ebay are just that - cheap

they shake noticeably more on the highway, sometimes to the point that it makes it hard to see cars in your rearview

that's nice to know. Thanks for your input guys.
First I'll check to make sure the harness is there (which it should be since I have power mirrors) and that the heater power does come on when the rear defrost is turned on.
Then I'm off to the dealer to find out how much they are....then I'm calling a few scrap yards...... I'll keep you guys posted
