So I bought these PY ITR mirrors a couple weeks ago to complete my 98+ conversion. I go try them on today only to find out they are from a RHD ITR!! Now I am out almost 100 bux with mirrors I can't use. You can see in the pics that the passenger side mirror angles back farther so that the driver gets the same view on both sides of the car, but on the yellow mirrors, the left one angles back farther, vs. the right one on my green mirrors.

I don't know what market these mirrors are from, I see ST7 on the rubber piece, which I thought denoted an Acura part number, but of course Acura doesn't exist outside North America. It also says EPDM on them. A Euro ITR maybe?





So, has anybody done a RHD conversion and would like some mirrors to go with it?

 

the casing are not interchangable?

 

Hope this helps...



Just save and print!

That sucks. Seems like all the guts would transfer over.

 

Can you return them?

 

stuff from a jdm car still has st7 stamped on it
in my case i bought 3 sets of jdm sideskirts and it had st7 stamped on it

 

umm I didnt realize they were any different.. Just like when people by power folding mirrors from japan, they work just fine

 

can't you just change the angle the actual mirror is at?

 

like the 2 other people said...cant you switch the mirrors from your us one to the jdm one ?

*lets see how many people jump in and post thumbs up!*

 

I never thought it would make a difference in mirrors depending on what side the steering wheel was on.Guess you learn something new everyday.

ahhh okay, I found out that it's the bases that are angled differently. If you look right where the mirror shell connects to the triangular base piece in the pics, you can see how the base extends out a little further on whichever mirror is the passenger side (right green one, yellow left one). So apparently I can swap the yellow housings over to my green bases.

And no they are not JDM mirrors, as they are not power folding (I assume all PY ITR's in Japan had power folding mirrors). They're probably either from the UK or Australia.

 

at least your mirrors came from an english speaking country

GLAD IT WORked out

So the bases won't even come close to being able to mount on your car?

yes they mount up just fine, what I mean by angle is the bottom part where the mirror housing rotates to fold back, the base piece angles out farther on the passenger side.

Think about it, if both mirror housings stuck out at the same angle on both sides, you would have to pull the passenger side mirror wayyyy in to get the same view as the driver side, because the passenger side mirror is so much farther away from your eyes. So they angle it in to make the views more equal. When using the passenger side mirror from a RHD car on my LHD car, the only thing I can see out the left side mirror pretty much is a view directly back in my driver side window.

have you read this thread and looked at the pics? The passenger side mirror angles back farther than the driver side. The left side yellow mirror that I have angles back farther meaning it's from a RHD car.
