Default JDM Door-panels Interchangeable With USDM?

If you get the JDM door panels could you switch them with a USDM Integra and just rearrange where the switches are? Basically not giving yourself the shaft if you buy these and having the master controls on the passenger side.

Well yeah, but I saw a pic and it looks like it has the switch already on it. Could you just remove them and re-install them to the other side?

Went outside and measured my switches length and they both came out to 5 3/4 inches exactly. Also approximatley 2 1/4 inches for the width of both switches.

So since they are indeed the same size, that would make taking the JDM door panels and switching the location of the switches theory work huh? w00t!

*Did you just conveniently have that picture of the comparison at your disposal? That was cool. *

The Usdm passenger switch should fit with no problem, but the driver's side Usdm switch will not fit, wthout using a dremel. As illustrated in the picture above, the Jdm Driver side switch is made to fit for LHD. I compared Both USDM Drivers switches and JDM switches and the only thing I noticed different was the upper right slope(Jdm), compared to the Upper left slope(usdm) on both Housings.

So just use a dremel and you could get it to work? That doesn't sound like too much trouble if that's the case.
