Didn't see it on the list of parts, but if it has power mirrors I'd snag those-which leads me to a question. I recently scored a set of power mirrors from a junkyard, and I got *most* of the wiring-these are heated mirrors too (maybe all power mirrors were?) I have the mirrors installed on my van now, but not hooked up. It is my goal to someday (probably a winter project) to wire them up to work. Is is as simple as putting 12v to the correct lead or am I missing something? Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----
