I would be interested to know if thats the case with the older model Jimny where you are?
Mine is like Gadgets, but 2007. I find this very annoying as my usual work vehicle (renault van) is opposite to the jimny. This results in me indicating with the wipers in both vehicles a lot
Would be really handy to swap the Jimny around to match the van (and almost every other vehicle on the road)

Ok they are manufactured right hand drive but they are simply using left hand drive components on the opposite side to how they were designed because of cost..just because almost every other vehicle is the same doesn't mean it's correct.
It certainly doesn't appear to be a cost issue. South African ones have the indicator stalk on the right.

How well do your replacement DRL bulbs sit in their housing? I did mine at the weekend which required much fiddling with trying to get them to lock into place. I checked on them today having parked up at work and noticed that they are both pointing slightly towards the drivers side and don't look completely flush in the housing.
I'm pretty sure they're locked in place, took me ages to get them to slot in properly but seemed fine at the time, although my hands were starting to go a bit numb in the cold so I was quite glad to get them locked in and didn't do much post fit wiggling to check play or anything. They're functioning fine and you can't tell when they're on, just when they're off.
I've a niggle in the back of my mind that wonders if they truly are fitted correctly so interested to get some feedback on how yours look.
Didn't help that I couldn't get a good look into the housing whilst fitting them but had to go purely on feel from the interior side but could at least see through the lens on the bulb side.

My next option is to take the whole lens unit out and have a go at fitting them where I can better see what I'm doing. I'd got a lit mirror in there so I know I was putting the right lugs in the right place but I just couldn't get it so it would turn smoothly. In contrast, the halogen bulbs went in and turned with next to no effort at all.

On attached image... left one should fit, right one too wide. look almost identical, but i think the bottom of the chrome bit is too wide on right one. it's fractions but seems to make a difference.

I've attached a pic of the ones I have. I don't know if you can see, but on the leading edge of the angled silver bit, just above the recess, there's a scuff where it's been catching on something. That could be my hamfistedness, but using an inspection mirror I made sure the lugs were correctly lined up so expected to be able to just push and turn but it won't seemingly fully push in all the way. Is there a knack to approaching it in at an angle and then straightening up?
I managed to fit the halogens back without issue so I'm not a complete imbecile

I've no idea why mine weren't straightforward like others, maybe just manufacturing tolerances, but at least they're in now I'd say about 0.5mm came off all round, maybe a bit less, so not much difference.
