    Excellent product. No more frozen wipers for me. Takes about 15 min. to install as they come but you should add a fuse and if you want a switch then that's up to you as well.
    They take 10-15 min. to start melting good; something like heated mirrors.
    I didn't have a Toyota switch extra so I wired them into the fog lights for now. Turn on the fog's in the morning or when its snowing/freezing rain and away you go.

    I found these later and are less expensive.

    I really think these should be offered on a Tacoma not every model just a cold weather package or some equivalent

    The heated mirrors is pretty easy to do though. The parts are readily available to toyota (4R, Sienna) heated mirrors not sure why they wouldn't add this. Luckily in Canada seats come standard heated in the sports and limiteds

    Yep, I've already done that. Very worthwhile mod. Think I'm going back to studded tires next winter, it's been an icy one.

    I spent the extra money and got the Lexus RX mirrors. They have the auto dimming feature on both sides. Can't live without them now lol
