sr20jet is correct, that is factory installed from the 05 JDM Fit, and im still hoping that will be the standard side mirrors for the 2nd gen Fit here in Phils
Part are heaps cheaper in HK and Thailand for the Jazz. Huge range of aftermarket stuff.
Isn't a real popular car for modding in Australia yet. Needs to be a critical mass sold. More stuff will become available locally as it gets into the 2nd, 3rd or so generation and the older cars filter down to those people more prone to heavy modding in the 2nd hand market.
The average age of cars on Australian roads is 14 years though this is thankfully rapidly decreasing with record new car sales of close to a million each year the last couple of years (remember the total population is only 19 million).
The mirrors also rotate in towards the body of the car automaticly when you turn the engine off to prevent them getting knocked while parked on narrow Japanese streets.
Anyone know if & when they will be sale in australia
If you want the genuine indicator mirrors you would need to order from Japan @ approx A$900 + painting. Highly unlikely Honda Australia will ever bring them in just like the double DIN, sunroof, LED taillights, 4WD system and other JDM features.

if it's that much i rather buy some small race mirrors
I've never been a fan of the mirror turn signals. I've seen them on a handful of various vehicles here in the U.S. (anything from Cadillacs to Ford F-350's) and I find them to be nothing more than distracting.
Just my two cents (first time I've used that phrase! ).
I always look for turn signals at the rear of the vehicle when I'm following. Everytime I see a new Caddy around here with mirror signals, it distracts me. I begin focusing on them and not the road.

Hey, that's my opinion. Sorry.
I think what's needed to consider is the poster's country of origin when they're comparing traffic to what we experience in the U.S.
I'm sure other than Aussie land trains no other group is going to get your issue with floating blinking lights not tied into the rear of a vehicle.
In the U.S. our standard operating procedure is for marker lights to be normally on the side of large vehicles like tractor-trailers.
Our yellow side reflectors (per our Federal reg's) are part of the very front corner of vehicles as well.
Just an issue of perspective,,,
If anyone is looking for a used set of JDM Power Folding Mirrors, I am currently selling a full set (mirrors, wires cut after couplers, switch and complete wiring instructions) on ebay. They have scratches so they would need repainting, but that is a given for almost any other set that you could buy. My ebay seller id is jdmisme and I am currently looking into what other items other countries may be interested in buying for the Fit. Let me know via the ebay messaging system as I may not be able to check this forum too terribly often. Here is a sneak preview pic and the link (click on the picture for the link to the auction).
I also have a JDM Fit gauge cluster on a seperate auction... some may be interested in that, also.
Turn Signal in Side mirror?
