Guys, I want to change one of our inner lamps, the near side. The van is LHD with original headlights.
I don't think there's any difference between LHD and RHD nor N/S and O/S, but does anyone know for sure? Can someone please confirm if I can replace my LHD N/S square inner with one from a RHD model?

inners on twin square are handed left and right side only 533 941 061 is left one and 062 the right one
there is also yellow version also left and right, suffix A
but they are the same whether left or right hand drive unlike the headlight units which are specific ie 'drive on left' for right hand drive

Now I‘m confused
I thought it was the outer square lights that were handed and the inners where just spots.
Have I got this totally wrong

As Aidan says.The inner left is not the same as the inner right.You cant put an inner left on the inner right.They are not interchangeable.They are the same on LHD and RHD.Unlike the outers.

Thanks Rob I see.
It is the inner light unit that is handed, not the direction of the light beam,
and the outer light units are the same, but the beam is handed.

I wouldn't have thought it mattered about 'handed' inners providing they go out when you're on dipped (in the UK at least).

The inner lamps are handed from a styling aspect but not light beam shape in the way dipped beam lights are.
