Headlight Assy Interchange

Anyone know if the driver's and passenger side headlight assemblies interchange at all? Could I take the plastic pieces and top metal piece off and switch them?

Reason I ask is that I purchased a driver's side headlight assy but received a passenger side from the shipper. I would like to make this work without costing myself or the shipper anymore money.

I don't think the pieces are asymmetrical.

Yeah I can confirm. The linkage is on opposite sides, its not just the "lid" and Headlight shrouds that are different, the entire assy is reversed. Thanks for the help though guys, been a crazy day. Had to deal with a partial severed finger.

ouch, sorry to hear about your finger.

I don't know if there are any adjusters to aim the lights, but if not, then swapping the lights would create issues with light dispersion.
