Default Re: Adding ritght side tail light

A few weeks ago one of my Model A buddies pointed out that my right taillight is actually a left taillight. Sure enough, it has the little window thingie on the underside to illuminate the nonexistent license plate. I’m surprised I didn’t notice it considering I installed LED panels in the taillights when I first got the car. I never considered whether the two lights are symmetrical.

Same here, the right taillight housing in my '31 is actually a left housing with the clear bottom. Yet another thing that the "restorer" didn't get correct.
