Anyone got lhd electric mirrors on rhd?

Post by youthy giblets »

hi just wondering if anyone has electric mirrors off a left hand drive van on there right hand drive? If do can you see out of them lol. I believe there are some mods to be made to mirrors to help visibility but wasn't sue if the mirror glasses themselves are different lhd to rhd

just partly remove the bottom of the mirror bases so it gives you more vision

The electric motors are exactly same as BMW e34 5 series if you need spares you can adjustangle with washers and longer screws
