I haven't seen any postings of someone actually doing the install, but I replaced my side view mirror glass with ones that had LED arrows that shine through when the turn signals are on. For all intensive purposes it is the same process to install and wire them (with the exception of the end point being a couple of terminals over on the connector in the under dash fuse panel).

The most difficult part of the process of adding mirror heaters would be not breaking the glass. When I pulled the mirror glass off of the plastic backing to swap mine over, I broke one of the mirrors. Fortunately my LED ones included new glass, so it was not an issue, but if you were going to install heaters on the back of the existing glass, you would need to be very careful.
