Not in the US. Possibly in Canada.
The US '96 and '97 3.2 TL only had heated mirrors with the premium package. 1998 3.2 TL has them standard.

The 3.2 and the 2.5 model uses the same mirrors, and they are interchangeable.
The only differences are the number of wires. There are 2 mini wire harnesses.
The ones with the most wires are for the power mirror feature. And lastly, the one with only 2 wires are for the heated feature. One is a positive and one is a negative. To test the polarity, use a 9volt battery to get a reading. It should heat up if connected right.
Last summer I bought two 3.2 model heated mirrors, and the folding mirrors from Japan on eBay. It cost me a total of $180 for the project.
What I did was combined the parts to make a diesel-A*S mirrors.
Now my mirrors are heated and also folds in and out.
I was thinking of fitting the 2005 Acura RL mirror signal light on our mirrors.
That would required me to cut out the mirrors to make space for it. And later use Bondo to fill in the negative spaces, sand it out, and have the autobody paint it.
It'll be one tough task to accomplish.

My '98 2.5 had it standard. The premium in both the 96 and 97 had them (both 2.5 and 3.2) and the 98's were "premium" already, so they had them.

I haven't installed them yet. I was hoping to get some DIY information from someone because I would like to combine the harness so that they can be heated and power folding.
