As you are setting in the car facing forward behind the steering wheel. The right side would be the passenger side and the left side would be the driver side, on American Cars. Some countries have right hand drive cars. Then the driver side would be the right side and the passenger side would be the left side.

Think of the car as a person with the engine being the head.

Here's a tip for you. In most cases. When ordering GM parts, the odd numbered part number is for the left side (drivers side) and the even numbered part number is the right side (passenger side)

part # 00000001 left side

part # 00000002 right side
