Icon2 Question about a JDM part vs USDM part

I been having a hard time sourcing some Wiper Arm's. I have a Right Hand Drive Type R but the wiper arm's are missing. I thought no big deal I could just buy new one's but after checking ebay and Google I can not find any.

I was wondering is there any difference between the RHD JDM wiper arms and the USDM LHD arms? I know the wiper motors are reverse on my car compared to the USDM. So they wipe in reverse compared to USDM.

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me =-)

Yes, the curve of the arms where they mount to the pivot are mirror opposites.

Id say your best bet is to find out the part number they can get then through Honda dealerships you just need the part numbers. For those i would get ahold of some of our members from the UK or NZ they would be able to help you out im sure one of them is EL-R from NZ he could probably help you find the parts you need
