I just put this on ebay and now I think I might think it's a passenger side. Anybody have an idea?






On the back it says the following if you can't read what it says,

FD01 51 SH2 LH
PPO + PA

BTW, this came from a JDM (left side driver). I'm looking at the LH and thinking Left, but which left?!?! Please help!!! Thanks in advance!!

 

When speaking in terms of cars, it's always relative to the driver IN THE DRIVER's SEAT. So when it says LH, that means its the (USDM) driver's side. Also, you can tell just by looking at it, assuming your pic is oriented correctly.

 

when looking at the front of the car from outside. it is the right one.

 

Thanks for the replies! So far I have +2 for driverside. Anyone else care to chime in on this?

 

USDM Driver side...

 

Driver side.

If the big long curve is on your right when you look at it from the top then it's the driver side, the curve goes with the fender and the bumper. If the curve is on the left then you have a passenger side cover.

 

It is clearer to reference the turbo side or not on these cars because of them being LHD or RHD dependent on location, but the engine is always oriented the same. This appears to be the headlight cover on the side opposite the turbo. Driver's side for US.

 

okay, thanks everyone! i'm convinced that i correctly listed the item! Driverside headlight cover it is!

 

DEAR LORD MAN. You could have easily just looked at a picture to figure this out.

 

The "LH" on the stamp is the key - on ALL versions of the FD (LHD or RHD) Mazda always uses the same left hand/right hand designation. Left hand is US driver's side.

This actually holds true for all Japanese cars I've worked on.
