hmm thats odd. The current generation Honda Inspire is the Honda Accord here in America, whereas the current generation JDM Honda Accord is the Acura TSX here. Now...would they fit our TL's...

Confusion...

Item: JDM Honda Accord Inspire TSX Euro R Side Mirrors (320016279199)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
thi_anne is the Seller.



I don't think so, unless you know for a fact they were the same. It's only confirmed to fit the listed vehicles.




blah, guess ill have to do a modification to the mirros....

copy the item number and go to Ebay.com and just paste the number in the Search box. It immediately finds that auction for you. I'll just PM you the link

Also remember when buying JDM mirrors that you are driving on the opposite side of the car. The whole "things in the mirror may be larger than they appear" will be swapped. Passenger and drivers mirrors are different magnifications. Good for looks, sucks for functionality.

Hey I wonder if you removed just the mirror housing itself, minus the part that connect to the body of the car, if you could like transplant it onto the TL via the stock TL non-swiveling part....I hope that makes sense lol

I always wondered that myself but I always thought the RL mirrors was a better fit.

TSX mirrors require significant modification to fit our 2nd gen TL/CL. To me, the cost isn't worth it. There are some places where you can buy a LED strip to get the same effect. It looks cheap but does the job. Custom fabricating the turn signals into the side-view mirrors ... buy a new car or do a stereo upgrade with your current car ... that would be money better spent, IMHO.

For those who have actually tried to install the JDM mirrors for the Saber/Inspire (UA4/UA5) for the folding-in function ... you will lose the heated mirror function for the auto-fold-in.

WARNING: the mirror angles are intended for someone sitting on the right-side. You will have to do some modification of angles so that it will work for the driver sitting on the left-side of the car.

Time to dig up an old thread. So how much would it cost to take a pair of tsx mirrors and put them on our tl's? Including cost just to get the mirrors.
