the are motorized mirrors any focal difference can just be aimed away, I say that because it basically sounds like they could be still be mounted on yes?

and I take it you got power folders from a LHD country?

Don't car manufacturers sometimes use different glass in the driver vs passenger side? You know how sometimes only one side says "objects closer than they appear," and the other doesn't because they use like a magnifying mirror or something?

That's the only think I can think of that would be different besides of course the wiring being longer on the wrong side when imported with the factory mirror controls.

Preemptive to me so don't even think about it.

Yes, of course they bolt up, I only mentioned it so you'd know there is some difference! Depending on how much of a perfectionist you or someone else reading this might be, it may or may not be important.
