JDM 04-08 TSX "Accord" Mirrors on 06 Accord ?

[CYANiDE]

I know the TSX mirrors fit with new holes on the base. Anyone know if the jdm ones (folding) from the 04-08 accord will fit? I'm not worried about the wiring just yet.

Well, if it came from an Accord i.e. CM chassis, yup.

[timot_one]

Yeah. They will fit. Where did you find them? I'd like to get a set myself.

[CYANiDE]

The guy bought them for his TSX. He says they fit the TSX base perfectly meaning it should fit outs with some new holes and modding it. Lets just say I am getting a sweet deal on these....$180 they are white but who cares. Picking these up in an hour...

So are they JDM Accord/Inspire or Accord Euro R mirrors?

[CYANiDE]

I'm guessing it's Accord Euro R (TSX here right?). It's not the inspire mirrors though, that would fit our window base perfectly. It's whatever they call the TSX over in Japan/China.

[CrackerTeg]

Then it would be the same shit as the TSX mirrors.

Just get a pair of accord hybrid mirrors and call it a day.

But those don't fold!

I now know the base will just require new holes. Now I need to figure out how to swap the internals so I can actually see out of these mirrors.

[timot_one]

Why are you swapping internals?

[CYANiDE]

Why are you swapping internals?

JDM mirrors have the opposite view (they drive on right obvs) and even with the mirror adjustment, you can't get the angle good enough to have useful sideview mirrors. Someone on TSXclub swapped the internals from his OEM mirror into the JDM ones (maybe it was the other way around) so he can have the folding option and still be able to use the mirrors.

You realize that you're probably going to have to swap TSX internals, and that the Accord internals probably won't fit or work?  I'm not sure if swapping the internals would be necessary though.  Sit in the passenger seat and adjust your mirrors as if your car was RHD.  My guess is that the person on TSX club probably did a bunch of work for nothing.

Yea, that's the problem I've been thinking about. Someone on DriveAccord swapped Accord internals into the TSX housing with some dremeling.

if I adjust for RHD I'll be looking at the sides of my car lol
