    I'm so surprised that you don't have them. What engine do you have? I thought all SR5's had them. Do they come with/tow package? I'm curious now.

    You would need the switch in the dash and the wire harness as well.

    Do you heavily load your bed a lot? I haven't touched mine aside from testing them.

    That's what I call the ASSHOLE button. When someone cuts me off and races 90 to nothing to a red light, I like to park right in the mirror, hit my brights, and point those bad boys up. Works everytime.

    Yeah I'd like to have a headach rack with same lights pointing rearward for tailgaters. Or mount some in my bed lights. That would work too.

    Yessir, the defrost button warms up those mirrors as well. I believe different trim levels have a different setup, the fancy editions have two defrost buttons, the SR5 has a knob for front defrost and button for rear and mirrors.

    I will check it out.....i have one that is obviously for the front defrost and a second that looks like the rear window, so I am guessing that if i turn rear window switch it too will control the heated mirrors.....

    I've been debating that also. So I went out and got a couple of cubes and wire harnesses and now I'm looking into where and how I'll mount them. Pretty sure I'm looking into mounting them at the corners of the bed. Trying to figure out fitment and angle for them and where I'm gonna run the wire.
    Hop on Amazon and get 2 cubes and let's get'r done.

    Anyone know how much heat the fog lights put out? Lots of OEM fogs around cheap.
    I thought about making a plate and hooking them up where the rear bed lights are. since there's already a switch for that and It will give me some extra light in the bed too. focus them about two cars behind me. and watch them backup...lol

    Thats if you start at the lower number, 5 is the lowest projection height. Since I am lifted I just casually move mine to the lower numbers (3) when I get cut off; Then when they think I am at high beam (they flash theirs to hint me), I smartly high beam them from behind. Just about everyone stays out of my way.
