I would like to try and fit PIAA wipers on my LHD car, I was thinking to buy them in an Autobacs store in Japan but I'm not sure if wipers from a RHD car would fit a LHD car as the movement of the wipers is inverted...
Would there be any difference in the fitting brackets?

Probably nobody knows......

I would say "no" to your question, items like wipers are massed produced so will be able to fit left or right hand side of your car, it would be too much hassle to design one for a left and right hand drive car so most items like this are reversable.

Thank Tony,

I was thinking about that wipers are mass produced, but wasn't sure...but since I was messing around with my dash interior recently and found out that there are a lot of differences between Euro & Japanese Impreza's, I had my doubts about mass-produced stuff...

Anyway I'll give it a try and if it doesn't work I'll let everbody know....
