My guess is the harness is there if the JDMs have it. You just have to order the japanese side mirrors and replace the US ones. You'd get defrost as well. Problem is the side mirror is about $300 per side.

Another problem is that you'd have to find a Euro LHD model as the JDM RHD mirrors sit at the wrong angle if you're LHD.

^true that. I use my own power folder (my hand) to tuck them in...much easier.

I do the same but i'm worried about the mirrors getting loose. I have to do this everytime I park in the garage. Power folding mirrors would be great.

Canadian models may be an option (not 100% sure they power fold, but I think they do). The problem is they are about $350/mirror.
