Have you spent much time driving a right-hand-drive car in a left-hand-drive country, or vice-versa? It's certainly not ideal.

At the very least, you'd probably need to replace the headlight assemblies with U.S. versions so the headlight pattern would be legal. But that's probably all.

A lot of people convert different Hondas to RHD and I haven't heard complaints. I understand about the headlights though.

I'm more concerned about the cost to import.

Sorry, I bought this car about 2 weeks ago

I got 80MPG on my first commute but so far am averaging 72. I'm happy enough so far!

Congrats ! This is such a beautiful, individualized + so well maintained car and the best of the story is: The cool little Green Sipper
1. will not leave Ireland,
2. will keep you being a happy Insight owner...

Please d o pamper the old IMA Battery with gridcharging regularly. IMA Battery will appreciate it and might be rebalanced.
The GridCharger is the best invention together with MIMA for an Insight Mk I owner !
