Default MY99, did they have heated side mirrors?

as title says, I cannot recall if UK/Euro MY99's has heated side mirrors?
Each time I push the rear window heater button it seems to click somewhere behind the dash & near the mirrors, same when the heater turns off automatically?

Tks,
Ramon

I don't think so - my MY00 didn't.

When you push the button, all it does is start a timer, and the timer switches on the rear screen heater with a relay. It's the click of that relay that you hear. The click when it times out or you switch it back off again is that relay opening.

They don't. Cos when I picked up our 99UK Turbowagon and salesman was running through things "this is electric mirrors switch" me "are they heated" "no". I thought how cheapskate. Astra 16V I had before had heated mirrors.

But apparently the elements are there, just that they are not wired in - anyone know how to wire them in??
