i just bought a 94 civic dx and was wondering if any what other year mirrors could be made to fit my car. i want heated mirrors and thats the only reason im interested. i live in ny and its a pain to have to scrape them(yeah im lazy)
im not having any luck finding jdm heated mirrors so any help would be appreciated.

anyone?

Did you search at all?

No other mirrors are a direct fit. They do make 92-95 civic power folding/heated mirrors but I have a big feeling you aren't going to want to spend the money and time getting/installing them.

It doesn't help with the heated mirror part, but EK mirrors can be made to fit EG http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/albun31/album104/

thanks for the help guys. after not really finding the answer i wanted to hear i did a search and found this....

it applies to any vehicle so i may end up going this route. it will be much cheaper in the long run over buying power folding/heated jdm mirrors.
if i find the jdm ones at a reasonable price i will do them but the only ones ive found dont have the heated mirrors anyway.

^^I'd just do the write-up you found. You will not find the heated/pwr. folding mirrors for cheap, if you even find them.

yeah thats what im thinking as well. ive already found the elements as soon as i have a chance im going to mess around with the mirrors and make sure it will work them. then im going to do a nice big write up with pictures on here for everyone.

FWIW, many Canadian 6th Gen Civics came with heated mirrors. So, if you wanted to do the 6th Gen retrofit on your 5th Gen, you could use a set of these. They're everywhere in Canada ...

Actually, on second thought, I just looked through that retrofit DIY, and the fitment was total isht. OP, wire your aftermarket elements to your rear defrost and voilą, you're done. In my DIY I mention that you could use motorcycle handwarmers, too -- might be cheaper.

EDIT: Yeah, that link you posted is the same one as where I learned about the moto handwarmers. I asked at my local Canadian Tire, but they didn't have them in stock.

i did not think about wiring them in with my rear defrosters...good idea! im just wondering if it would overload the circuit? i was just going to use the switch resistor thats included even though its ugly... also im not sure if its some type of relay that shuts your defrosters off after so long or not but i wonder if that would be affected as well?
im not very knowledgable when it comes to automotive electric but my friend is
