Here is how I did and there might be other ways but this is mine.Remember, you basically have to sacrifice on set of mirrors to make them work.
1) You take the base from the USDM mirrors which is the triangular part that attaches to the door. There is a cover underneath it and three screws you have to remove. If there are electrical wires you have to remove the plastic connector on the end so you can pull them through the hole on the base (this is the hardest part).Don't forget to mark where the wires go in the connector. You do that on both sets of mirrors.

2)You'll have to mount the US bases to the JDM mirror but there is a little round tab that sticks up from the metal base which is supposed to mate to a small hole. This is where the 2 peices come together,and is supposed to hold everything solid while the mirror folds. The hole is now on the wrong side so you have to either drill a new hole (which I did) or file off the tab. The hole doesn't go all the way through so you kind of have to keep checking to see if it finally mounts flush.

3) &nbsp;Reassemble everything and it should look just like the stock mirrors did.

It looks like I might have over simplified this so feel free to ask for more details if you need to.
