#240912 Its possible to find one, however it wont be easy and it will cost a lot.
Also depending on what state you are in, registration for a RHD vehicle will be much more expensive and complicated then a regular LHD vehicle.

#243503 What is this safety conversion that u guys speak of.....we're rhd in my part of the world and when registerin an lhd nuthin special is required except that u need to display that your vehicle is LHD by havin the words LEFT HAND DRIVE fixed to the rear of your vehicle(license plate and bumper are the more popular options)

#243519 If your shipping the vehicle over
Break the headlight and register the vehicle shipment as damaged goods
It should be less expensive

#248467 So odd,
I live in Australia RHD land, and the other day I saw a left hand drive Acura Accord Euro with two army dudes in it, looked like american soldiers.

Thing is, we dont have Acura here, so what the hell were those guys doing here?!
