Can anyone else confirm that their Sport has heated mirrors since they're 'not suspossed to?'

I took apart my mirrors/doors to install the puddle lights, and I did not see any wires that looked "extra." In the mirror housing, there are only four wires, all of them go to the motors to adjust the angle. I didn't see any stray wires in the harness, so I would say that at least in my 05 Sport model, it's not pre-wired. Of course, I doubt it'd be very hard to tap into the wire that gives power to the rear window defrost. I may be doing this once winter rolls around.

Just curious- has anyone here successfully upgraded to heated mirrors without pre-existing wiring being in place? I really want to do this, but have no clue as to what's involved.
