I would imagine most people already know about this, but I have yet to see a pic of an Integra interior with this done.
On JDM center consoles, the hazard button is actually on the right side instead of the left. I believe the ashtray and the cigarette lighter are switched also, but don't quote me on that. It's so easy and in my opinion actually does make a difference in overall appearance, the red hazard button just looked more centered in the vehicle. Anyways, just pull out your climate control panel a little bit(enough to get your fingers back there). And for those of you who have never done that before, just pop off the rear defrost and hazard button faces with a flat-head screwdriver, and carefully pry out the tabs(one on each side) to remove the whole button. Then you will see 2 philips screws behind them, take those out and you should have enough leverage. WAIT, I forgot, before you do anything get underneath the whole console and undue your climate control pulley. Just move your temperature back and forth while you are under there and you will know which one it is. After all this, simply switch the buttons. It will be a tight stretch on the wiring, but it will be barely enough. When I first did it, the buttons looked a little ****-eyed, but just work with them and they will look almost perfect(also mine kinda settled to their perfect position after a few days). All done!!
Very simple, but very nice custom touch. Sorry if this is a confusing DIY, this is my first DIY post, let me know if you have any questions. Wish I had pics, but I am on a computer at work that does not have those capabilities.

thats kind of stupid switching the two buttons around because your still lhd and have to reach a farther distance to just turn on your hazards like a ricer..
