Default Power folding mirrors?

I never knew this was offered on these cars. Should I do it for the cool factor? I want new mirrors anyways.

Are you asking how to do this, or just if people think it look cool?

Make up your own mind about what you think is cool. Is your mirrors folding worth $350 vs having the same mirrors that don't fold for $150?

Used, ebay, $100 for all of it. Mirrors and switch. I know how to wire it up. I think it would be cool. Something I know noone around me will have.

It will look funny because it's from a rhd car.

The magnification on the left side mirror will be different than the right and you won't be able to see correctly.

Just get regular folding mirros, or be cool and get some aftermarket bling ones.

For ek's I especially like the vision dc

No harness, no relay. But I used to do electrical so I can wire them and make them work.

The stock mirrors wont fit in jdm folding mirrors. You'd had to source some lhd mirrors from Europe.

The regular power mirrors look just like the non-power mirrors.

I'm not sure if the usdm civics came with folding mirrors, I find it hard to believe they didn't.

If you're getting the Japanese ones, it's stupid. The side that's concave is switched with the flat side.

You need the power folding ones from a European country (not UK), because they're LHD.

Believe it. We have the dumbo ears, just like Canada and Mexico. The rest of the world has these:



They come in various combinations:

Unpainted
Painted
Manual Adjust
Power Adjust
Manual Folding
Power Folding
Heated

I use them at school because I hate when people bump into them walking in between the cars.

No, you can use USDM glass on the JDM folding mirrors for 92-95 Civics. They're the same mirror body, just with some different internals.
