Question 1988 Trans Am headlight motors
On eBay I see some sellers listing replacement headlight motors for 87-92 firebirds/trans ams as being “left or right“, these are NOT interchangeable,correct? There is a left and right side specific motor.
how do you tell which side is which looking at the listings?

Re: Question 1988 Trans Am headlight motors
Typically Left Right terminology for car parts is based on if you were sitting in the car. But I find alot of ebay listing mess that up and the picture may not be of the side listed. I would message the seller and confirm if its the American Driver or passenger side.
