Yes, on the earlier cars there's one light "towards the driver's side".
But which side is that? The frames and wiring can accommodate
either left-hand or right-hand setups, and the bolt holes, wiring, etc
are set up for either. The factory placed one light "in the correct
position". Then someone else got a second light and installed it
in the open position. Totally stock looking.

At least, that's the theory I'm going with :-)
