If there is sufficient space withing the mirror housing, mount a

to prevent the light coming around the edge of the miorror glass.


What you need for efficient demisting, etc, is a good even heating source
since glass is a very poor conductor. And bulbs don't provide this.


Glueing 10 or so resistors on the back of the mirror would be
good enough.
