I thought mirror defog was part of some package. Are you sure have that option?

It depends on the outside temperature. I think it's below 34F for the outside mirror heating elements to turn on.

yea, totally understand it's cold weather dependent. Had a 45'F day, fog on the mirrors. no defrost.

read somewhere the heating also increases when you are using wipers?
