Not sure on a temp but...  I don't think they will get warm enough that you
will feel it.  Maybe if it's very cold out you will feel it.  You will know
you have heated mirrors if the frost (or snow) on them disappears shortly
after driving (couple of minutes).  Wait until it frosts and then check.

Are your headlights on??  They won't spray your headlights unless they are
turned on!!

HTH!!
