Default EDM vs JDM vs USDM, help us out please!

I was hoping to start a sticky thread here that could be used as a reference for people looking to compare USDM to JDM and EDM, so post up stuff thats different, like colors, motors, lighting, etc.

My real question behind this is this- does Europe or any other Left Hand Drive nation have a civic (EG/EJ) with the Power Fold mirror option? My JDM units are great but I can't use the US drivers side mirror for much, and I even switched out the JDM convex mirror for the USDM flat mirror. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

No help?

Well here's another question- what is the button marked 'HALF' that I see in some center consoles?

The only part that I know that was only offered in Europe was the rear foglight. Now on EG6's it's built into the rear inner tail light:



And then the actual rear foglight that's on the bumper found on EKs, I can't find any pictures of it. But it's pretty slick.

I believe the CRXs/EFs have the dual rear foglight. S2000 has them dead in the center, while EKs have them on the passenger side (our driver side).

CRX does have a dual and S2k does have it dual center. I saw both in Italy.

But not all Europe drives on right hand side, just the islands of GB. I'm trying to get my hands on some mainland Europe LHD power fold mirrors.

Hmmm. . . that looks alot like the ones that come on DC2's. I thought EK had a more squared shape. Cool anyway I suppose.

I think they all look the same across the EKs and the DCs. Regardless I can't wait to get mine.

Here it is on an ITR:

Alright, before anyone keeps on spreading bad information. I will tell you guys that the Rear fog on the EK is inside the taillight also,l not on the rear bumper.

Get your facts straight.

You know someone a year ago might have mentioned it in a thread so i should tell you to go search, instead of just saying I dont know. but Im going to say, maybe you can just remove the glass from each one and swap them, I think its plastic and snaps in, and you might be lucky and do this but it might be the right shape. just a thought.

as for the mirrors just get the glass from the dealer or aftermarket store, you know the glass just has adhesive on the back, so you get some new glass and you can see out of them better

thats what i did, i used to work at autozone and just bought the new glass and stuck it on

I switched glass from the USDM unit (which had the mirrir houseing broken off the base) into the JDM unit. The reflection is proper, but even with the mirror adjusted all the way out, I can only see the side of my car and behind me, but none of the left lane unless I lean waaay to the pass side.
Anyone know if any screws on the bottom control how far out the mirror folds? If it folded out another 10 degrees I'd be cool.

I did a 'How-To' on how to switch the mirror out so it's not convex, but I haven't figured out how to make the angles work. Grrr.
