73 barracuda tailight assembly question?

[Flathead31coupe]

Plastic taillight, assemblys are they side specific? If so, how do you tell the only thing I notice that there is small plastic tab that sticks out on each one of them.. i know the backup lights, go in the center and the brake lights and taillight.Go to the outside... Just didn't know if they were marked left or right

The only location specification would be the reverse light are inboard location. They are for reverse. I think you got it.

Thanks , I read this , that's why I was asking the question...
Yes, the 1973 Plymouth Barracuda uses specific left (driver side) and right (passenger side) tail lights. The assemblies and lenses are side-specific and not interchangeable due to the contours and design of the rear body panel.
When purchasing replacement parts, you will find them listed as either left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) assemblies or lenses. The overall tail light design for the 1973 model year features a unique oval shape which is different from other years like 1970-72, and the components are molded to fit the specific curvature of each side of the vehicle's tail panel.

Ok iM crazy.I am confused in this picture.Doesn't it show right and left as two different numbers.. So there is a difference in right and left

I see what your saying about the parts. Are there any numbers or L -R on the housings. If all else fails trial and error.

Thanks for all your help.All of the numbers are all the same on the turn signal and brake light housings.and the same numbers on the two backup light housings... I was able to determine which way they went by the old rubber gasket, how it was formed.Looks like the tabs go to the top.All is well now thank you..
