Come on Toyota, no side rear view defroster on 1958s?

That’s not true. There are at least some with the heating element. It appears to possibly be on the early builds. I have experienced mine defrost and defog with turning on the rear defroster. I have a 1958 delivered at the end of June 2024, one of the first in the northeast United Staes. As someone else posted, it is JDM heated glass without the icon.

You could always put the naysayers to rest by taking a picture of the wiring that goes to the mirror glass connection point.

I’m not pulling my mirror apart. But next time my mirrors fog or get ice I’ll try to remember to take a picture or video.

Ok, thank you. Mine was built in Sept 24 and sent to ft Collins Co. I would have thought since it's Co then heated mirrors are standard. Still love this vehicle!

4/24 build. 1958 spec. pics showing it does not have heated mirrors. I suspect if your mirror has heat then it also has a camera, per parts diagrams. I'd like to be proven wrong with some photos though.

Any connectors tucked back in the mirror housing perhaps?

No, all the wires coming in were accounted for.

With all the talk about some 1958’s having it I was sure hoping the wiring was there hidden behind something….. Darn

May have been wishful thinking on their part, IDK.

Does your mirror have the icon on it?

Side View Mirror Defogger Indicator

Hey All, I have a premium land cruiser tier. I'm wondering if the side view mirror defogger indicator lights up for other people's LCs when in use. I turned on my rear window defogger and the mirrors definitely got warm so they work, but the indicator on the mirror never lit up. Is it...

Nope - 1958, no heated mirrors
