Default Side mirrors heated and auto dim

My last car had auto dimming side mirrors and they were also heated when the rear defrost button was pressed. Do you guys know if there are any kits out there to make ours auto dimming and/or heated? I think the heating part could be done to the factory mirror but I would need some suggestions for a heating element.

I dont think window tint on the mirrors will work well.
In my car anyway i have 15% and anymore on the mirrors will be very hard to see at night.

My mums Tahoe has auto dip mirrors i would like them
i also want heated seats lol (i know they are available)

heated seats are great you should get them!! At first when i got the car i thought i would never need them but then on a cold winter morning i turned them on and wow i was warm in no time!!

the point is to reduce glare at night

have you ever had a truck behind you with its brights on, and it was hard to see because the light is shining right in your eyes? thats basically what its for


having replaced my mirrors with the agent 47s, i can say it would be difficult to make a kit for defrosting or auto dimming based on how the mirror is assembled. it would need to be an entirely new motor and/or mirror housing desigened to fit all those things in

which to my knowledge does not exist

and i would not advise tinting your mirrors

cool idea. but a kit would be so overpriced that you could hire a guy to come out and wipe your mirrors with a towel and hold sunglasses to your face when there is a bad glare for the same price.
