side mirrors from accord hybrid

i was driving alongside an accord hybrid this morning when i noticed they have sidemarkers in the mirrors like the tsx (and unlike the regular accord)

However, the mirrors look cleaner, they dont have that black chunky plastic surrounding the lense and the whole mirror is painted as well

i wonder if this will bolt up to our cars?

yeah the JDM accords have those too. I have been thinking of getting them cause they are also automatic power folding mirrors that fold in when you turn the car off.

moda_way, with the service stuff you can access and part numbers, can you tell if there is a seperate control module for the auto-fold, or if that is an ECU function that we couldn't replicate?

I can look up that info., but I'm not sure the US got the folding version. Checking it out now.

UPDATE: From the parts catalog view, these mirrors do not fold. Should I look any deeper?

I wouldn't mind finding out if the folding mod could be done on a US TSX.

Ah, oh well. I imagine that these would fit now as a purely aestetic mod. I'd be interested in some auto-fold if it was ever feasable tho. Nice to know.

Are you sure the Jap Accords auto fold (à la Mercedes Benz) on switch off/door locking or is it a user operated button?
Must admit, the full colour does look the business - probably more so on the lighter colours (white, blue, silver, red).

yes only the JDM Inspire have these power folding mirrors.. someone was selling ABP inspire mirrors on ebay for $500.. should have bought it.. bolts up directly with out car.. just have to run the switch next to the vsa and power it up for the folding...

my friend had bought tsx mirrors and tried to fit it to 03 accord coupe.. no fit..
i told him to give me so i can try to change the LED bulb in it.. but he wanted to charge me dealer price for it..
