How do I know if my mirrors are heated?

I need to order new rear view mirrors (outside) both are broken. Is there any problem ordering bendable ones? and How do I know if they are heated or not?

They will say heated if they are heated.

Mine do not say heated. But can I buy heated ones?

Also, is there a problem ordering bendable mirrors?

Depends on the model. My 2001 SES doesn't have heated mirors, but I have the wiring harness for them.

If you have the wiring harness, yes.

Look on the face of the mirror, heat mirrors will have a small image of wavy lines @ about 1:30. Also heated units have electrical connections on the back. Is fairly easy to snap the lens out of its housing, patience and a screwdriver.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Check to see if you have the wiring first, and then decide if you want to buy them...

Also you never said what year of car/model it was. Most newer (gen 4) higher end models (SES/SEL) should already have the wiring there.
