It shouldn't be too hard to install. I had the JDM folding mirrors when I used to have my Prelude and installing it wasn't too difficult. However, the USDM mirror housing assembly is angled differently than the JDM assemblies (RHD car). So I just took the motor and fit it in the USDM assembly to retain proper usage of the angle of my side mirrors. If using the JDM housing assembly, the left mirror maxed out when trying to go to the left where my usual vision is, because it's designed to be angled for me sitting in the right seat, and vice versa for the other side

The IS in Taiwan is left-hand drive and their IS has auto-folding mirrors. So maybe sourcing the parts from Taiwan? Just my 2 cents..

I just posted in another thread about remote power folding mirrors. So I'll copy and paste here for you guys as well. lol.

Rash posted something about the part numbers on her the other day.
http://https://www.clublexus.com/foru...t-numbers.html
They have the power folding mirror option here in Germany as well. And the auto window up option. I took my AWD to the dealer here and the auto up option can't be programmed into the ECU. As for the part numbers. If nobody can get them by the time I make my next trip to the dealership, then I can have the service rep look them up.
