In the VW parts world, the lower number in a pair is left (as you're sitting in the driver's seat). So, theoretically:

521 = left
522 = right

They also have the word "top" in made into the glass on the top. You would have to work pretty hard to get them wrong because they have an obvious taper to them that would make them look really wrong if they were backwards

Kamzcab86... Thanks for that! I kind of made a wild ass guess that the even numbers would be on the right side of the vehicle because my crappy DOT lenses were numbered in a similar way.

Then again, we hate to screw something like that up, especially when the adjuster parts are so dear for what you are actually getting.

Now I just need to order a couple of more parts and get the Doka lights installed and life will be good!

Thanks again everyone for their input... This is why we all love The Samba community VW Logo Red Vanagon Yellow Vanagon
