Default Lexus RX Dash Cupholder

I was finally able to get a black 2nd Generation RX dash cupholder and A/C vent.

Im looking to see if one on a right hand drive RX car is exchangable.

If you would like to try this mod. And you can get a right hand drivers side one to exchange with mine.

Let me know. And we can work out the shipping details.

I agree that it will be interesting, but it seems to me to be a lot of work to create a marginal place to park a pop.
I recently spent some time (not much) and some money (not much) and replaced the original lights inside the car (not the brake or backup or parking lights) with those nice little, cool white LED replacements, and think that to be an excellent use of my resources. The extra light, especially from the lights on the bottom of the front doors and in the rear compartment, is extremely helpful. Highly recommended.
I will follow this cupholder project with interest.

Default Cup Holder

If you look at both cupholders. They are the same size. With the same curves and dimensions. But they are 180 degrees out. The difference is the sliding cup holder on the bottom of the drivers side

It wont take 20 minutes to find out if this just slides right in.

Also another question. We have the part number for a left hand drive cup holder / vent.

Does any one have access to find out what the part number is for a right hand drive?
