Default 99 2GS300, was heated side mirrors standard equipment or optional?

My lexus is from vegas, so it made sense that it didnt come with heated seats. but what about heated side mirrors? i don't actually see a button for them. i briefly went thru my manual but didnt see anything listed in there...

Any help is appreciated...

I'm just guessing here... I think my 2005 says they turn on automatically with the rear window defroster...

It's pretty easy to tell if they're heated or not...

I'd say turn the rear window defroster on, and check the mirrors with your hands after like 2-4 minutes.

If they're warm to the touch, you've got it figured out!

thanx for the replies. im trying to figure out what was standard equipment and what wasnt. i got to visit my buddy in taiwan, his car had, what looked to be, standard fold up mirrors. there was a button next to the mirror controls. now that i think of it, i donno if it was standard equipment, but sure was a decent install.
