they are backwards, all the main plugs are on the opposite sides.
so no, they will not work in a left hadn drive car

JDM harnesses are made for RHD cars. So the battery terminal connector will be on the drivers side of the engine bay instead of the passenger. Use your existing harness or get a USDM one if you're doing a swap.

Yes, the JDM harness WILL work on a US motor if it's in a RHD chassis. But if you're wanting to know if a JDM harness will plug and play into a US LHD honda, no it wont, not with out modification, which isn't worth doing. You're way better off with a US engine harness for a US car. The JDM harness is only useful for spare plugs & wiring on a US car.
