No... they aren't. They go on the passenger side for JDM cars (what would be the USDM driver's side), you know... because they drive on the other side and can't see the passenger side front corner very well.mymmeryloss said:

JDM EF '88-'91 Civic Hatchback Front Bumper (Inc. Parking Pole)[/b
Complete your front-end conversion with this OEM EF '88-'91 Civic Hatchback SiR front bumper cover! This bumper is designed specifically for the JDM spec front end. The turn signals wrap around the sides of the bumper for a clean look. This bumper includes the front lip, and the very rare JDM parking pole! This item comes optional in Japan. The parking pole is used to aid the driver when parking the vehicle. When hooked up to a switch, you can trigger the post to either go up or down. When extended the light on the end of the post illuminates bright green.
Wow....guys does a write to potential help someone and everyone bashes him.

i gotta ?(be nice) wtf is the point of the parking pole
I dont like it either.. That's why it's been out of my car for almost three months. Sold it to some guy in Sweden for almost as much as I bought it for.
This makes more sense to me too, I agree with you.
The purpose of the pole is to see the corner better, the drivers side you can see better than the passenger side, so it makes sense to put it on the passenger side to avoid scraping your bumper on another car in a parking garage
I got one off a 99 CTR, but mine looks different, all of the ones I've seen look different than this one, I wonder if this is off newer models... ones that came off EK's have an angled plastic grommet that is supposed to keep it straight.
Just because it was found on a Type R doesn't mean it belonged on that car. It could be for another vehicle or perhaps even for universal use.
This is an old topic, but still...
Is that a OEM jdm parking pole? Or a Universal Ebay kit?
I am still searching for a real OEM one

I just moved back from Japan, after 8 years) and every car there has one of these stock. Great write up, but I agree it looks crooked, and it is usually on the passanger side of the car so you can tell how close you come to something(in Japan everything is small(cars, streets, parking spots).
just installed mine this wkend
wasnt too difficult, practiced on a spare ek4 bar we had lying around, lol
had a jdm ek4 pole and bracket and an eg6 switch to work with, ran the up/down cables inside so they work only when its on ACC, but the pole I rigged up to a missile switch so I can leave the light on for meets and whatnot
inside view of the test bar lol
here's a pic of mine
