Each segment has small quick connectors installed onto them. The wire leads out of the heater are 6” (150mm) long. Once the heater is properly secured to the mirror shroud the second wire segment in connected to leads coming from the heater. This is a 12\" (350mm) extension which is routed across one of the spider vanes. This extension wire terminates in a female RCA plug, which then connects to a 2.5' (750mm) Kendrick Cold-Flex extension cable (included) that then connects to your Dew Controller. The total length of all wires\/extension is 4' (1,220mm).
