Fitting heated wing mirrors to an SS-V

They are already heated, activated when rear window heater turned on, or they are on my Series 1

You can easily tell as the heated mirrors have a defrost sign on them (much like the objects in the mirror are closer than they appear sign)
This will be on both drivers and passenger side.

As far as I know, the demist and the puddle lamp lines are missing if they were not fitted at the factory.
This is the case for SS and Sv6 models, but I am unsure of SSV models ?

(I know right royal pain in the @$$)

If you were going to add the lines in and fit these up, be sure to run a couple of extra lines, so as you can fit the door lamps, and other stuff later down the track.

 

On my e3 clubby there is no side mirror demist after reading this post a good idea might i add i asked holden spare parts for the mirrors yesterday they didnt know which model it comes from and had no idea if they even exist can anyone help or no someone that could fit them
Cheers

 

Pet hate when Holden dealers don't even know what was available on what models. They've been around since 2006 at least (WL Caprice and some VZ Calais'), think they'd know by now.

Not sure if they're standard on anything, but if they were, it'd be on the WM Caprice or Caprice V. And as for people who might be able to fit them, auto electrician or try another Holden dealer, where they know what you're talking about.

 

Thx Gamblr at least i have a model to go by appreciated heaps
Cheers

 

Holmart sell heated mirrors for both sides brand new.

(they also have the ones with demist *and* puddle lamps, if you're feeling really saucy)

 

They are also fitted to the Calais V and possibly the std Calais model.

 

yep on my 2007 calais v

 

Will pick up a pair tomz thx for the link saves me looking for them on line

 

The fact they are not standard on a HSV is ridiculous....

 

Totally agree cost cutting no doubt

 

I think they are standard on the senator.

Probably Hsv assumes that clubbys and r8 will be used more for track days and such, so they are stripped of any luxury items (park assist, memory seats and mirrors, puddle lamps, extendable door pockets, rear seat DVD player, etc.)

Heck, they were too cheap to fit LSD on the v8 luxury models such as berlina, Calais, statesman and caprice

 

Will let you know hopefully during next week need to find someone to put them in for me and hope it will be easy to do the demist wire or Holden has a harness at least for it might give HSV a call and ask before i buy keep you updated

 

I did check the prices for the mirrors and were approx $260 each and prob looking at alot of work pulling things apart getting the wires connected auto elec i went to said approx $400 labour but he had never done what i want before on my car so thinking im going to give it a miss prob cost nearly 1k just to do it but if anyone else does it would be interested how it was done
Cheers

 

Just didnt like someone pulling things apart just incase not put back properly since im sure alot have never done it before.

Maybe just have a water bottle on hand in the boot for the foggy days
