I've got those lamps for my car, both meant to be for RHD car, but they look different. The one is like reflection of the other so I think that one of them is for LHD car. My car is in storage so I can't check now. Can someone please tell me which one is for RHD? thanks

301126257 (right of pic) is a European (LHD) low-beam lens

305126082 (left of pic) is a European (LHD) right-side main beam lens

I used Google to find this info.

that can't be right, as I know the left and right lenses are the same, one of those has to be for RHD car

How can the left and right lenses be the same? These lenses are for the early car. The lens directs the light to a specific side so oncoming drivers are not blinded and the near side curb/road edge can be seen.

Don't confuse them with the later projector beam lights where the lens serves no directional function and thus left and right may be the same.

Also I would suggest that when you ask a question and get an answer to be more diplomatic in your subsequant replies.

thanks, did not mean to offend anyone.
I bought both lenses from ebay, and they assured me that they for RHD car, that's why my first answer was like that. it's not that I don't trust the suggestion and of course that was not what I wanted to hear. What tricked me was that they are different, I was sure that those suppose to be the same and that was my mistake.
