It most likely is not a switch for the sunroof. puts their sunroof switch on the ceiling in front of the sunroof. It probably is a foglight button (this is where it is on my eclipse) and will probably become an ACD switch when it becomes an option in the future.

That is an extremely sensible assumption. Lets hope is considering it. Yawn... back to sleep... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

There are other ways to go around that issue. So far was inserting a plain plastic piece instead of the button. From what we can see on that picture, that is a button for real.

It's either hi-beams or foglights. It's not AYC/ACD, I can say that with absolute certainty. The only reason I can't say specifically is because the icon on the button doesn't show up clear enough for me. (and I'm not using the photo that you guys are looking at....)

Cheers,

If you actually read through his post, these cars were driven in Thailand. He said he drove the US spec EVO, but he did not say the pics he took were the US spec.

It is very likely that he took pictures of a JDM EVO that would also have been there.

In which case we need a close-up of the speedometer to see whether it's USDM or JDM. I think you're more than likely correct, though.
