I am installing set for a friend, and they are numbered on the lens assembly 1 & 2, and was wondering what is the order of installations.

The one's I have had L&R on them.

Thanks for your help.....

They are paired. The 1's go on one side and the 2's go on the other side. I am not sure which number goes on which side but the lights are angled slightly different to compensate for the curve of the rear fascia.

If you install one on the wrong side it will not be facing directly back, the angle of the face of the light will be off.

When installed correctly, if you stand directly centered behind the car about 20-30 feet back with the lights on, ALL of the tail lights should be the same brightness and look the same.

If 2 of them seem dimmer than the other 2, you have a couple of them switched to the wrong sides.

When I installed mine I put the 1's on the drivers side and the 2's on the passenger side, they are all the same brightness.

I also bought some from a vendor and the box contained 3 LH lights and 1 RH light. No numbers on them at all. I have 2 08 Vettes, one came with them. Waiting for the vendor to respond.
