Stupid Question on Controls - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is the firsts thing I noticed!
Indicators must be on the right, especially in a Toyota and any RHD car :-)

Anyone tried to swap the wiper and indicator controls? Is it possible?
Should I try?

They'd be upside down if you did that.

My Honda Civic is built in the UK so no adjustment required for me... Yay!

Strange - the indicators ARE on the right for us here in NZ with our RHD cars. You'd think all the RHD cars would be the same.

Quite a mix match bunch these cars

That is very strange.

Either way, I prefer them on the left so no complaints.

They're where they should always have been!

The only gripe I have is the lack of lane-change indicators.

Yeah I was really missing that in the beginning. Haven't given it any thought since.

That's weird.
And I agree, I would also have thought that all RHD cars would be the same, especially SA/NZ/OZ (because we all drive upside-down

)

It's awkward for me because our other vehicles (Subaru Forester and Subaru Impreza) both have indicators on the right.
So it appears to be neither a Toyota nor a Scooby "thing"...

Guess that SA 86 drivers will soon learn that a windscreen wash from another 86 actually means "howzit mate"

Wonder if a conversion is possible (and affordable)?

Haha speaking of that, I've found that the headlight washers are great for getting rid of window washers on the street. Got 2 of them at the same time once.

Aren't they basically the same as Hilux controls? Wonder what the wiring looks like inside...
