I was in the process of trying to install mirror heating.
Due to my unfortunate accident I can't work on that now, but I do 
know that the original way of connecting things is NOT logical; 
whenever you have the ignition on there's a constant drain by the 
heaters.
Most cars have an auxilary switch for the heaters or have them 
connected in parrallel with the rear window defogger. I know my 
Escort would have them connected that way if they had been 
installed... (just found the wiring diagram for my car!)

Anyway, I'll just have to wait for my cars' repairs, then I'll see 
wheter I'll install them and/or how.
