    Looking for a new rear light for a Honda CRV.

    There seems to be great deals to be had buying from LHD markets.

    My question is this, is the reverse light on the other side in LHD car?

    What year is the CRV?

    If there's only one reverse light then it'll usually be on the opposite side alright.

    It's an 06.

    So long as it has a fog light then an unconnected reverse light shouldn't be an issue?

    I had a LHD fabia for years with only one reverse light (presumably on the wrong side) and never a word said about it.

    You might have to fit a pair of RHD headlights though.

    I have the car already, it's rhd. I suppose my real question is, will parts for the lhd car mount properly and easily to it.

    I can't see an issue with any part other than the headlights obviously and the rear light cluster as they are side specific.

    I assume the cars body is identical and the parts that attach to it are mirrored rather than the entire Chas is and frame being mirrored

    All other body panels would usually be the same.

    No point using different lights though.
