How to tell the difference between left and right hand drive

Post by Licherman »

Hi All, I have replaced the lights on my Atlantic, from the round ones it had when returned to me after being stolen and recovered in a molested way with some rectangle lights. I am just about to have it MOT'd and could do with knowing if the lights are left or right handed, does anyone know if the codes on the lens that states this,
Thanks,

you can tell left and right square lights by the position of the side light bulb
