Hmm What Are the Odds?

[Ont1992ADL]

Hey whats up, Im dieing for a set of power folding mirrors for my CB and was wondering for you USDM EDM JDM Guys that know where the cars were built and what options were available...was this option available in cars in canada? and what are the odds of me finding something like this in the JY? Im an avid hunter in the summer and have yet to come across a set....Ive also never seen CBs in the JY with Facotory Fogs lights 92/93..well I did once but the car was a wreck and I grabed the switch but the fogs were shot!

I saw those and both awesome examples of what I am looking for...however here in canada you bring cash you get crazy deals..especially at the not so local junk yards off the beaten path...I got the rims on my car with rubber for $35 and the lip for $5...so to a JY dude that doesnt really know WTH they are I could prob get them for cheaper then that...If i can find them...

They are a Japanese option, necessary for the extremely tight parking in Japan. Power folding mirrors were not available on the North American models.

So I guess that means I am not going to find them in a JY unless i get really lucky...how about the fog lights? was that an option here? Ive seen only one with the fog lights driving atound so far and its been a year...

[deevergote]

Yes, foglights were an option in North America (at least in the US... I would assume they were in Canada as well). They are not very common, though. They seem to be more common on 90-91 models.

The JDM foglights are slightly different. The lenses curve, whereas the US lights are straight. They both function the same (terribly... The stock fog light output is basically worthless.)

If the parking is so tight that you need to fold in your mirrors, then how are you going to open your doors?

Ok, I need to understand something. power folding mirrors are only jdm? Because if thats the case, how is it my 91 lx came with power folding mirrors??

if your mirrors can do this...then they are power folding. If not, then they are just regular power mirrors on your lx...

[4U2H8ME]

Ok, now I understand. Mine, I have to fold them. I have never seen that before. Damn I hate you for showing me this, now I want a pair!!!!!!!!

Aside from being kinda cool, they really aren't useful over here. In Japan, parking can be VERY tight (though if it's so tight that you need to fold in your mirrors... how do you open the door? ) It's one of those things that you get just to say you have it. I'd like a set myself, but not just because they're JDM... but because it's cool to have one more part of my car do something different.

Depending on your taste, this could be as ricey as a 3' tall wing.

yea i too think its just a "cool factor" mod.

id wire it so when my car alarm unlocks, my windows roll down, my stereo turns on, my car turns on, and my POWER FOLDING MIRRORs open up.

The windows and radio would suck at 3am in the rain!
