This write up is for the 05-08 CC Frontier with rear defroster option. I don’t know if those without the rear defroster will have the wires for the defrost button. If someone wants to check and take some pics I will gladly add that to this write up.
I found that Nissan has 2 different sets of heated mirrors you can use. I am using one of each in mine and both are working fine. RH: 96365-EA16A LH: 96366-EA00A.
These mirrors are less expensive but you’ll have to cut away the paper to get to the Terminals.
LH: 96366-EA00A $17.65 from www.CourtesyNissan.com
RH: 96365-EA00A RH Comes in as a NON-Heated Mirror. Do Not Order
If you don’t feel comfortable with the mirrors above then you can order these for twice as much.
LH 96366-EA16A $35.02 from www.CourtesyNissan.com
RH: 96365-EA16A $32.70 from www.CourtesyNissan.com
I am using 18 AWG with 1/64” insulation. You don’t want to go much thicker than that or you may find it difficult to pull the wire through the mirror assembly.
I started with about 6 ft (per side) of red and black wire and used electrical tape to add some extra protection to the wires. You may or may not want to do this. Up to you. It also makes it a little easier to feed the wires through in some places.
***I highly recommend verifying the wires are correct before cutting them. My wire colors may be different than the colors in your wiring harness***
The first thing you should do is check to see if you have the relay and fuse installed for the heated mirrors.
If you have the relay and the fuse you’re ready to check your wiring harness for 12VDC.
Remove the panels so you can get to wire harness.
Remove the connector and check for battery voltage from the blue (power) to ground. Diver side is a light blue and passenger side is a dark blue.
Turn the key to the on position and press the window defrost button.
With a multi-meter or voltage checker put one lead to the power wire and the other to ground.
You should have close to 12VDC here.
If battery voltage is present, you are ready for the rest of the install.
Turn key to the off position.

Pull the white plastic back so you can disconnect the mirror wiring harness.
Remove the plastic clips and pull off the plastic cover.
Use a 10mm socket to remove the 3 nuts holding the mirror assembly to the door.
After the 10mm nuts have been removed the mirror is disconnected from the door so hold on to it or it could fall off
On the bottom of the mirror you’ll have to lift up some tape to reveal 3 torx bolts. Use a T-25 to remove them.
Once the torx bolts have been removed you can pull apart the assembly. This will make it easier to feed the wire through as shown below.
I left about 6 inches in the mirror and reassembled the mirror.
Strip the insulation and crimp on the Quick Disconnects. I am using 3/16” female connectors.

good job, be careful though, you about to be voted the official how to thread and pic member. I like the add in arrows and tagging. Now you need to do a thread on this as well, that is unless you want to do all the install guides........... Iam glad you posted part number I went down to Nissan today and they didn't have but 1 part number for mirror glass and we pulled off the shelf and they were not heated(nor hidden) even using Sean's vin.

I used to work in manufacturing where one of the things I did was to write tech documents. So I think that helped in giving me an idea on how to write this up. I was getting a headache toward the end of it so if anything seems unclear just send me a PM.
