Here's how you have to wire up the heated mirrors. They are not plug and play per se. But very easy with some basic knowledge.

As Chris would say....If I can do it ...anyone can.

It really isn't that tough. If you have basic knowledge of 12v electrical you can wire these up.

Cool, it's not hard at all to wire up the heated and/or the signals. I just have the heated option wired directly to the power window hot in each door. They are constantly on but it's no biggie. I have a defroster switch from an old Explorer that I still need to wire up so they can turn on and off with a delay but I need to get off my lazy butt to install it.
