The rear screen demister is a welcome upgrade but as for the front... well I've managed just fine wiping it with a pad and turning the blower on.

If you must fit them, dont forget to wire them in to the ignition,nothing flattens a battery faster than a heated rear screen left on.
Also I assume a larger battery will be necessary?
Coupled to an alternator rather than generator?

neat little on/off/timer relay perfect for screens,
single button press on, press off, or timer will turn off in 10 minutes if you forget
prevent you forgetting and leaving them on
