get yourself down a scrappy and have a hunt for Golfs with heated mirrors. Then take out the loom and swtiches or whatever comes with the mirrors. You should be able to just plug them in and hey presto as the connectors should be present already in your car!  :smiley:

I hope that's right; though I'm sure others will point you in more of the right direction!!  :smiley:

I doubt ( unless your very lucky ) that you'll find a loom .
I have made up looms in the past on a couple of new mk2s ( as the customers wanted electric adjustable and heated mirrors ) VW didn't do a separate loom so we had to order all the plugs , terminals , mirrors and switch etc .
I then had to make the loom up using a the VW current flow diagrams , took a while but they worked first time  :cool:
