thanks gene, i hope u didnt mind me posting that.....
man the jdm plug is so much smaller than the usdm
well HERE'S pics of plugs of BOTH the 2001+ model and of a 98 model....i have BOTH these mirrors in my possession ATM
i will have to get back to you to let u know which is which as i forgot to label them but i can figure it out. only real difference in them is one wire.the plugs (from the top) 3rd spot from the right has a different color wire

At first I didnt think this existed but now this seems like an awesome thing to do however the down side is pretty steep, losing heated mirrors, and having the mirrors come out way to far because of the viewing angle is a big minus. AS stated before about the Saudi Arabia Mirror will those have the problem with the viewing angle, are they also not heated?

Saudi Arabian mirrors are an EXACT replacement for the USA. If you can get a set, your set! They are not heated.

that should not really matter? you just swap the motors over and they determine how far the mirror angles. there are two different types of motors motors out there, and they are both wired in very different ways.
your just changing the casing/fold mechanism.

they have manual heated mirrors? lame
it would matter, they would be almost a direct plug in play if the LHD euro's had folding mirrors
thats not exactly true...what you said. you cant swap motors over to a housing that never had them and they just work, would have to make or integrate a harness. not to mention the 98-00 and the 2001 ALREADY use a different mirror motor. essentially IF i could get ahold of a JDM mirror LHD or RHD i could sort this out.
