Would this Jdm Ash tray fit in a LHD? Just Curious

Jdmglenn

no bc its for RHD. You could possibly ghettorig it in

deemee

damn thought so... but thanks

ennohohbee

no and why would you want a "JDM ashtray"

boxeocampeon

whats the difference. It smells like japanese cigarattes?

the coin holder and cigarette lighter are switched places it seems like.

looks like a waste of money and time if you have one already, spend money on the "jdm" audio console instead

deemee

actually there is not coin holder on the LHD version.... just a cig lighter and this one has an alarm light

Wow, this thread reminds me of this cartoon:


Anyway, if you really want to change that piece you'd be better off getting one from an Acura EL...

here's a pic of the one for US cars. Notice the cig lighter is on the right side

JDM ones seem a lot easier to find.
The US ones have the lighter and ashtray switched so the lighter is on the right side of the part / left side of the car.

The standard US part in that place is not a cigarette lighter. It's a 12 volt socket that all '96-'00 Civics got standard.

The alarm light would be aftermarket of course.

I have a US ashtray/lighter in my car and have the stock piece around too.

deemee

yea thats what i mean, just a 12 volt socket, but thanks for the info

I had a jdm ashtray on my usdm ek before. I had to do alot of cutting just to make it fit. And it don't align right.

fastrxu

I thought thats what all cigarette lightera plug into; 12volt sockets.

deemee

yea i don't want to cut it all up just to make it fit

hmm ran across this tread looking for an LHD ash tray.
EDM ash tray is the same as the USDM optional one, have seen it in a lot of european civics, it's also available in south america in Brazil. they are made for LHD cars so you don't have to cut anything.

What is that In dash TV displaying? Looks like a tach or infometers....need to know what thats called. Always wondered if that was possible.

Personally, if you want to go for a different look, i think the CDM Acura EL has a unique look to it with a different lower dash setup....as shown earlier in this thread. Here is what it looks like installed in a fellow Honda Tech members car

The problem with the EL console is it really kills the usefulness of the cup holders. It's tight for even (what I think is) a normal sized drink. That'd be one that's small to medium, depending on the business purchased, not even the giant ones. We've had drinks explode and dump everywhere because of that console.

people still smoke in their honda's these days

Who uses the cupholders anyway? Damm cup holders never hold the cups and they end up spilling. Ill never go KING SIZE at Burger King again...LoL

NOFX

When we go somewhere and pick up food to bring home we use the cupholders. I don't have any problems with my cupholders unless I end up with one of those Super Fatty Big Gulps or something.

I have the ashtray but I've never smoked and no one has ever smoked in my car either. I like the way it looks better than the stock 12 volt panel, which looks naked to me.

Deetz

ha ha, well..it was just a suggestion for people looking for something different. The console in my Em1 is stock ...except shift **** and boot
