JDM Mirror adjustment problems

I just installed the JDM Honda Fit Mirrors with signal lights and, perhaps not surprising to some of you, I run into the "RHD mirrors dun work with LHD Vehicles" Problem. You see, my JDM mirrors come off a 2005 Fit from Japan, and since its designed for RHD, I am having a LOT of difficulty adjusting the mirrows (USDM = LHD). The mirrors need to be readjust by disassembling the mirrors from the casing. Not very difficult to do but its troublesome. =.='

Now that I can see the blind-spot, My mirror s are so loose that it looks like its gonna fall off =\ - The mirrors actually rattles when you drive around 70km/h (wind).

Any Ideas what I should do? I've been thinking of getting teh SPOON Blue Convex Mirrors... *sigh* Nothing is perfect.

What were you expecting when you bought them?

LOL, I was so into coverting my Fit to JDM that I totally forgot about RHD/LHD. I can only guess a JDM conversion does have its setbacks. Maybe I should start thinking about moving the steering wheel to the right... =P

Get the Spoon blue mirrors. That's the best fix you can do with a set of RHD mirrors.

Ben from A&J is using those and I've sat in his car to check them out. Takes a bit getting used to at first, but doesn't take that long.

I've got a set on order and will be installing them with my mirrors once a certain someone **ahem...Ben** gets the wiring harness!!
