Guys,

I need your confirmation ASAP. I live in Hungary and have left steering wheel car. I have found a car-part shop in UK who offers me the left wing mirror for good price for me. But the Part number is a little bit different of one I need. The offerred No is BG2H69180B but according my EPC (and Mazda service in Hungary) it should be BG3H69180B. I guess it can fit my car but I am not sure. Does anybody know the differences between them?

Thank you very much for the reply.

You got to be careful..Im sure all the mirrors, no matter what country are the same...e.g. Left drive and right...

Ok...When i brought my car, the mirrors were seriously loose...so i opened it up...where it is attached to the door...there are 6 little holes and inside 3 of the holes, there are 3 ball bearings spread out... now depends on weather the car is left or right drive, the bearings are placed so that the mirror clicks into place in the correct position for the driver to use the mirror.

So basically...If your left drive...then you may need to use holes 1, 3 & 5.
If your right drive...then you use holes 2, 4 & 6...Im not sure which is correct so yyou will have to experiment...

So in conclusion i think there the same...I do not accept responsibilities for any mistakes/problems

by the way...Do you have electric mirrors...maybe thats why the numbers are different...

Not sure if you guys will understand the above...Im sure someone else mite have opened there mirrors in curiousity??

I had to open in because it hung by its wires. But I am not sure I got your suggestion regarding the holes. The mirror I need is electric one and with a defogger (heating). Anyway I doubt because not sure why in UK spec there is "2" in 3rd position instead of "3" according to non-UK spec. As far as I know:
- 4th: postion describes defogger and manual/electric type. then
- 5th: "69" is door mirror and
- next: "180" is left side.

What kind of information is hidden under 3rd position of the Mazda Part Number?

I dont understand what you mean by 3rd position?? Do you mean when the mirror is folded so that other cars can't hit it??


Basically what im trying to say is that you probably dont need to worry if your buying your mirrors for a left or right hand drive car as they all fit perfectly at the right angles no matter what side the driver sits. To get the angle perfect for left hand drive, you will need to experiment a little when you are fitting the mirror.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Take a look at Mazda part number of the mirror:
- BG2H69180B - UK specification;
- BG3H69180B - non-UK specification.
the difference is on 3rd position of the number only. That is my doubt. Because I need non-UK one but I got the offer from UK.

Does anybody have the picture of the BG2H69180B ?
