Default Taillight Orientation

I know this sounds stupid, but just smoked my tail lights and don't know which ones go where.

They are of course labeled L& R but from which perspective? I put one of each in one side and I can't tell which one is off!

Can't find a drawing to specify, I look up the part numbers and it just says L and R.

Standard perspective is from the driver's seat. So left is driver side and right is passanger side.

The numbers molded into the lens go on the bottom when installed.
