if I buy a set of eg6 power mirrors will they be the right ones I need for my rhd conversion? or are they the same as the stock USDM ones

 

Yes the lhd and rhd mirrors are different. If your car is rhd than you'll need rhd mirrors

 

They'll bolt up but you'll have to tilt the pass side mirror all the way to one side to use it or see out of it

 

ok damn lol

 

Are there any real proof. I wanna see part numbers for both USDM and JDM.

 

I cant find anything the mirrors on ebay from an eg6 look identical to the mirrors on a us car. even placement of the glass its self looks the same

 

Do a search...there are several posts from people who've swapped their USDM mirrors for JDM mirrors and they're like, "WTF...I can't see out of my mirrors!" They're not there to look cool...they're there to allow you to see traffic around/behind you. If you swap USDMs for JDMs, they won't even be able to do that, cool looking or not.

I think there may be one or two enterprising individuals who've gone through the hassle of swapping the glass, but I've never been able to confirm this. Definitely not worth it in my book.

you know how the pass. mirror says "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

thats because the mirror is concave...or convex i cant remember. it allows you to see out of it correctly.

on a RHD vehicle the mirrors are reversed.

that is why they dont just swap over.

 

well damn now I need new mirrors

 

Just get you a Wink mirror, you'll see everything just fine

 

wtf is that? u mean a broad way mirror?

 

Would it be possible to just swap the glass from the right mirror to the left, and visa versa? Just throwing that out there.. Is there a writeup anywhere?

 

I have a set of rhd power folding mirrors for my crx. I haven't used them yet, but did test them to confirm that it is in fact angled very wrong for a LHD car. My solution was to buy USDM mirror glass and swap them in the jdm housings

 

Id get RHD mirrors just to be sure.. ive seen ones that are non dirverside preferencial but i dont remember which ones they are

 

Yes there is a difference... depending on the car.
