Thank you so much for the awesome video,I purchased the exact same kit, I can’t figure out how to wire it. Only did the same test on the battery with one mirror. Does that mean I just splice everything together and connect to the battery with the included fuse?
How did you wire both mirrors to the one switch? Did you connect the wires to each other on the heating elements and then splice in another wire for power? how did you power the 2 sets of wires running to the elements?
Great video. Looking for a little more detail on the electrical component. I see below you simply connected to the fuse panel below the steering wheel. No other power was needed? What part did you use to add a fuse? Can you add a picture of what the fuse wiring looks like? Thanks
I am unable to add any video or picture. However it's simply an add-on fuse. It's a extremely simple setup it's not like your car will blow up if you fudge it a little bit.
Mine never gave out and we're always reliable, I don't have the vehicle anymore but they worked all the way up until the truck was no longer being used which is a total of five years.
You know I saw in the dealership and they sale aside the mirror with heated, and it fit perfectly in my Honda CR-V LX, but I checked my car and it didn’t come with electrical wiring for that, do you know if it will be possible that I can do the electrical wiring and it’ll be work? (Mirror heated that I saw it’s for crv models superior that I got). Thanks
Not necessarily. In theory that would work but with many modern vehicles, if you pull more juice from a wire than what it's supposed to be pulling you will either blow a fuse or trip a warning on your dash
I have a 30 amp fuse under the steering column I connected to that is connected to many different things I want to use, and is ONLY on when key is on. So to answer you question, no, no piggy back fuse was use. Thanks for commenting!
I don't believe so however the wires are color-coded red and black. Red is typically positive black is typically negative. I would follow these hook up instructions
It's a resistive circuit, essentially one big heating coil... Unless there is a built-in diode ( not seen in this one or any I have seen so far) would you ever have to worry about the polarity. There should be resistance though, so you could check for that and if you wanted to run a diode test you could but it is a very simple circuit...
Nice job !!
Nice video
Very helpful your video!!👍
a trick : you can watch series at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Everett Joseph definitely, been using Kaldrostream for since december myself =)
@Everett Joseph yea, I've been using KaldroStream for months myself :D
@Everett Joseph Yea, I have been watching on KaldroStream for years myself :)
There are 3 prongs in back of the switch. 1 that is gold color & 2 that are silver colored. Which one connects to (+), ground (-) and the 2 mirrors?

Are these the Burco ones? I'm thinking about doing this upgrade to my Subaru. So the mirrors stay in with a rubber gasket?

Thanks Diy NH
How did they hold up over time ?
Mine never gave out and we're always reliable, I don't have the vehicle anymore but they worked all the way up until the truck was no longer being used which is a total of five years.
So did the glass just snap off the backplate? We're there screws?
were they any good?
Is it working until now on your car?

If you get the same kit I got, it can be trimmed too fit and wiring comes with it.
Hi!! You know if i can run it from the rear windshield defrost? I mean the same button?
You should be able to that's what I'm planning on doing coz I don't wanna add another button I like the stock look
Did this product last? It looks like water might get inside and it could cause a short.
I still use them to this day 6 years later, I have never once had an issue and have still the original fuse that it came with!
It can be connected with the rear window heater right?
Not necessarily. In theory that would work but with many modern vehicles, if you pull more juice from a wire than what it's supposed to be pulling you will either blow a fuse or trip a warning on your dash
You can tap into the rear window heater switch with a relay. Alot of vehicle switches also have multiple circuits built in too.
Man how you wired the electricity for these heater? Fuse box?
In line fuse
Did you use a fuse tap piggy back?
I have a 30 amp fuse under the steering column I connected to that is connected to many different things I want to use, and is ONLY on when key is on.
So to answer you question, no, no piggy back fuse was use.
Thanks for commenting!
Where did you purchase this heating kit from?!!?
This particular one I purchased on eBay
Does it matter how the wire hook up since there no - or +
I don't believe so however the wires are color-coded red and black. Red is typically positive black is typically negative. I would follow these hook up instructions

You didn't review how well it works.

Thought he was gonna crack an egg over and scramble it up lol
