The arms or the blades? The arms are labeled. They say driver and passenger right on them. They're also different shapes so if you put one side on the other it will be obvious its not right

First bent on the arm will be up, if it points down it’s the wrong one.

The actual arms themselves. I believe the blades are the same size.

I think one says DR and one says PR, but I'm not sure if thats us spec or jdm spec (my point being, the arms look new, so Idk if they bought USDM versions, so Idk if they are backwards or not) They do have part numbers on them, though, but I have no idea of knowing if they are JDM or USDM numbers.
