I have a question. How can you tell left from right 1970 beetle tail light and tail light seals apart? |

1970 tail light housing should have 2 holes on the outer side (for the side reflectors). 1970 tail light lens should have a reflector (inside) that faces to the outside, but could be on both inner sides.
Seals will be the same.
