Personally I would not use them, but I'm a freak

Why don't you see if you could swap the insides to your currnet mirror housing?

Does not compute.

The power folding mirrors was a JDM thing. Hence they'll all be RHD items.

Notice the fact that your mirrors are incorrect for LHD? Only you would notice. *shrug*

"Sweating" the fact that they fold? Personally, I wouldn't be impressed but you might get some show kaa stunnas "sweat" it.

My mirrors fold. Dunno what all the hype is... how often do you need to fold them in that having them power actuated is worthwhile?

*shrug*

But it's JDM, y0!

I'll be ROFLMAO because you backed into something you couldn't see using your BLING JDM mirrors. After you install them you'll notice that the mirror you'll be putting on the driver's side is the convex (or concave) one that makes things "Look closer than they appear".

and yeah, mine fold too

It's your car. If power folding side mirrors will make you like your car more, go at it.

Shouldn't you be working on your car to prep it for VIR? Like polishing those clear corners?

I meant get the JDM mirrors w/ the groove to match the stock one's. I said nothing about LHD vs. RHD

Opps. Might've went off on a tangent there then. Is this in regards to the "groove" in the front of the mirror housing? Doh.

I forgot if there was a change in design in the housing designs myself. Silly me, worrying about functionality first than worrying about asthetics.

actually you can swap the housings....

just do the custom wiring then. the pcb needs to be rewired.
