1a Auto Heated Mirrors for Baja

Post by TastyHuman »

Has anyone ever installed these on their Baja?

About $100 for a pair. They also show a video of how to install them on an Outback but should be the same for the Baja (I think).

I've got an 03 without heated mirrors, so may need to add wiring to hook them up, but it would be so nice to have some by next winter.

Heated mirrors will not work, the wiring is absent in the Bajas. The wiring harness will fit, but it's missing the connections for the heaters.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case for wiring but it's really not a big issue. There are aftermarket harnesses that are designed for retrofit. Maybe they won't use the factory switch but I don't really care about that.

Don’t the 05+ have the wiring for the heated mirrors?

That seems to be the case. According to this thread, viewtopic.php?p=6958#p6958, you'll also need the door switch from a Subie that has them as well. I guess Subaru upgraded them for a possible option but never got around to actually offering it since they changed the Legacy style in the 05 year.
