Mine are heated, you can see a very defined square open up in the middle of the mirror when they are fogged up and the rear defrost is on.

The dimming function of the mirrors has been thoroughly discussed in another thread. I believe the consensus is that we all do have them but some people, me included, can not see the difference. I too have tint and that me be why.
