Well, passenger side for all but the Brit, Japanese, and Aussie models, which have the passenger on the left. Right/Left is always determined as if you're looking towards the front of the car.

I'll be at the Sylvan Lake get together on Aug 3rd and can bring the tail light assy for ya if you wish

Whether you're sitting in the seat or standing on the roof, if you're facing toward the front left is always left

The way you originally wrote it made it sound as if you're supposed to be outside of the car in front of it looking at the car... that would make a Japanese car a left-hand drive car...

good point. I suppose "towards" is also relative.

Ya gotta love the english language, in which noses run and feet smell.

I went through hell when I got rear-ended last fall and had to replace my passenger-side taillight. There were tons available, but none of them were mint and not yellowed or otherwise flawed. The bodyshop had a very hard time finding a nice one. My original driver's side light is mint and I needed one to match. Anyways, eventually they found a good one, but it wasn't easy.

Anyways, what I'm saying is if Manntis' light is nice, jump on it, because the majority of the ones in the junkyard will not be.

Silver: Don't call the boys or nothing? <- said sarcastically. I had like 2 extra sets in the bsmt. 1 in absolute mint condition... Oh well... Only 1 set left now. I sold the mint pair to rxtasy.
