I don't have a write up, but suggest you reconsider using ctr mirrors. They come from a right hand drive, the angles are all different making them useless on a left hand drive set up.
You are better off to shop out of Canada, and find a left hand set of Acura EL mirrors

I have found these two images using a quick Google image search. If these are not sufficient I suggest you contact the originators of the posts with the missing images.

This might be a dumb question, wouldn't the driver orientation be different, not the mirror design? Not like the mirror is convex? Is it Im new to this sorry

I made the mistake years ago buying rhd folding mirrors for my crx, they look cool, but are useless functionality wise...just trying to save the op the trouble

The angle was so far off, even fully adjusted. There are other threads if searched, others with the same issue

I also bought CTR mirrors for an EK, couldn't see ****. What really sucks is that NA is the only place that comes with the elephant ear mirrors, and those mirrors are deal breaker for me an EK's.

The pictures that grumble posted is what I used. There is a possibly of two different types of plugs. Figure out which one you have. Snaking wiring through the doors is NOT fun.

I have them installed in my EK, and I was able to adjust them to be acceptable when looking at them and sitting in the LHD seat. They are not used too often due to the wink mirror I have.
