Hi,
The only kit I know of is the Devon4x4 setup. Only thing that stops me buying it is the price- but it will only be time bfore I end up getting a set. Hope this helps, Glyn |

Bought the glasses, I'm looking time to install........... I'm thinking about 3 wiring options: 1. I'll connect it to the rear heated window (like my previous Volvo) 2. I'll connect it to the front heated windscreen (mhmmm...) 3. I'll connect it with a dedicated switch (and timer?).... Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

I fitted heaters to my 110. i bought the stick on pads from a chap in Poland (ebay), i didn't bother with the "kit" as i'm an electrical engineer anyway, so could no-doubt do a better job myself... which i did.
I wired mine into the front heated screen timer (with their own relay) so they only come on for 7 minutes (or so) I drilled a hole in the back of the plastic of the mirror head, then ran the wired along underneath the "arm" (with some very small cable ties drilled through the aluminium) Then removed the door hinge, drilled a hole through the door so i could get the cable "inside" the door. Then used the genuine rubber tubing for doors with electric windows/CDL, ran the cables up into the bulkhead then down to the battery box where the relays live. |

this is my "focal" point.... [1] could you detail me better where drilled the door? have you photos..... [2] where bulkhead routing exactly? have you used a "probe" for routing the cables.... Thanks Daniele Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

You can buy or the heater (it's like a adhesive with heater film) or the complete glass (choose the convex type). It's very similar to the OEM realizations and they work well. I bought this one and they are ok..... the difficult part is make e good job for the cable routing across the door..... Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition
