98 Camry Driver's Side View mirror replacemnt Japan Built

[007jhernand]

Hi I am looking to find the difference between a Janpanese vs. a USA built Power, non-heated, Driver's side view mirror on a 98 Toyota Camry. I am going to replace the side view mirror on a Japanese built. A pic of Japanese built would be great!

FYI I purchased a mirror from salvage and was told it was from Japanese built but information I have researched on-line does not seem conclusive. I can post pics of purchase if necessary.

I think it's just the bolts/studs and holes in the cars frame that are different. I can't 100% confirm that though.

I appreciate the response LyncbburgCSI. Some of the investigation I have lead me to think there may be a difference in the wire harness.

The connectors may indeed be different, too. If you can solder and diagnose wiring with a multimeter though, you should be fine.

The plugs are not the same...Kevin

Thanks again. I would like to avoid splicing wires so would prefer the correct mirror.
