Default What mirrors are these? Pulled off my 6th gen civic.

Okay I kinda thought they were EK9's but my buddy said if you can fold them in manually then they're probably not power folding.
I looked at them and couldn't find any "Honda" anywhere on them.
So what do you guys think? I figured maybe you could tell by the plug on the triangle part of the mirror.
Thank you!

Can you see out of them?

Like was mentioned, real EK9 mirrors say Honda on the bottom. BUT, those actually look like they have the OEM guts and rubber seals.

It's very possible they have replica bases on them, with real housings and internals, so you can see out of them in LHD cars.

It was pretty common to do a few years ago before they discontinued the replicas.

Yeah I've read even replicas are discontinued. What do you guys suppose they are worth? I got offered $100 but I thought they might be EK9s

i would ask more ek4 mirrors go from $125-175 and they can be hard to see out of and you should swap the glass for usdm glass. so a set that's angled right and needs no mods would be worth more in my opinion even if the bases are aftermarket
