    Did a search and see a lot of topics on this, but not my exact question. I have 2011 Toyota Prius Five. Driver side mirror was hit by a Lacrosse ball and spider webbed. Mirrors are not heated (at least no that I'm aware of), but I assume the wires are there in the mirror housing? Only thing wrong is the glass. Can I replace with a heated mirror glass just as easy as a non heated mirror glass?

    The mirrors are heated on the Five.

    I would recommend doing what I did - get online with ebay.co.uk and search for a Prius mirror glass. Then, look for a seller who seems reputable and is a dealership. Email them and ask them to order you a LHD driver side aspherical heated wing mirror. If you have regular stringent state safety inspections, this may not be a viable option. However, in Illinois, we don't, and the last five cars I've had, I've done this with. It basically has a built-in blind spot mirror. This takes about two days' worth of driving to get used to and then you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
