I think only some 4th gen base models In Europe and Japan did not have a sunroof. Some didn't even have a cruise control. That's why instead of the cruise and sunroof switches there was a coin pocket. The third switch, the dimmer, was in the center console and was different from the usdm dimmer.

There are tons of different variations between USDM, JDM, EDM and UKDM Preludes. Everything will be covered in this thread.

I've heard about those air refiners before but never seen one. How cool!

USDM EDM JDM and other markets. Exterior Lighting Differences between each market. 1992-1996 Honda Prelude.






Road Flare Holder. Black variations also exist.





Euro spec. Tan Leather Interior. Very Rare. The door inserts are leather too.








^^^ Notice how the rear divider doesn't have that pocket that our US ludes have?









Tan leather interior. Black pinstripe. Chrome door handles.




EDM mirror-less drivers side sun visor.
Some European Preludes only had the mirror on the passenger side. On top of that Germany, Italy and France had writing on them in their own respective languages. Japanese market also had many sun visor variations.





Chassis badge vin-plate. FRANCE.

Are you looking for the side marker? or the 2 piece turn signal? If it's the turn signal, which lens? the inner or the outer?

Then, what type of turn signals do you have? JDM, USDM and EDM all vary.

You can find it all on ebay. Easily.

Here are some photos from a 1995 UKDM brochure.

1992-1996 Honda Prelude EDM Headlight Washer System. Very rare factory option from Europe.

Wow. Aside from the rear wiper, rear fog light, side quarter markers and the right hand drive, the red car in this brochure is exactly the same as mine. To a T.

Cool. Thanks for the continued pictures.

My 1987 turbo Supra had headlight washers...... I loved those things. Never had any real need for them in my climate, but they were fun to tap the button and spray people walking in cross-walks in front of the car.

That headlight washing system is the bees knees. That would come in handy in my climate....although my 'lude never actually sees the snow, but still.

yeah dude! I was just thinking to myself the other day. Damn! With all these snowstorms and frozen solid mornings and sleet and fog etc...I wish I had some heated seats, heated mirrors and some headlight washers. I wouldn't be nearly as pissed off every morning going to work. These things make sense. Honda made them for angry mofo's like me!

Here are a some more features from the Japanese and European markets.


JDM bumper pole - used to judge the distance while parking between two cars. In Japan there are too many cars and not enough space. That's where bumper poles, half antennas, power folding mirrors etc, come into play.






Rear wiper. Japan and Europe.



JDM power seats. Possibly Europe also.



JDM high mount brake light

Here is something interesting. These are from Euro Accord, but are the same size as the USDM 92-93 tweeter fog switch.



In Europe and Japan, leather interior was also available on some automatic and lower end models like the 2.0 liter in UK. I believe it was a dealer option. In USA only VTEC models came with leather.







Factory Accessories. Floor Mats. Japan and Europe.

UKDM gray leather interior. Notice how the front and the rear
center consoles are black. Making the grey leather stand out.

Love the drawing of the 3rd gen.

Another interesting interior. I think this is a JDM car. If you know what markets featured this interior let me know.








Here is an alternative to having one heated seats switch instead of using up two slots for the Canadian/European spec switches.

The two switches in the middle are the Canadian/European spec switches.


here is the single switch to control the heated seats. This is a Civic and CRV heated seats switch.
