Doesn't look like the right part.
Did you try swapping and or turning around 180?

Don't feel bad, I have no idea what he means either. They're normal turn signals.

Okay guys. This is a picture of a non US Spec lense from Australia. I've circled the driving light part of the light. Compare them to the OP's lense. US Spec lenses are just a smooth single pane piece with no spot for a driving light
