Default Possible cheap heated mirror fix

I found this over at VW Vortex. Some guy replaced his Passat heated mirrors with blue Jetta mirrors (just like our beloved A4). The part numbers are below.

(1J1-857-521-D @ $37.96 and 1J1-857-522-J @ $25.50)

From what I understand, this is much cheaper than Audi. BTW, I took a mirror from my wife's Passat and tried it on my A4. Heated up just fine.

I let you know how it works.

Here's the post:

it might be standard now. you should notice it by the time you leave your driveway (with fogged mirrors).
