Sometime back, IIRC there was a discussion about the difference between the left and right headlight buckets.  I have searched but cannot find the discussion.

Any information or links would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I thought they lock in to a shape and are mirrored.  But they can just be rotated

The actual bucket the head lamp sits in is the same side to side.  Just the passenger side has a long lead and the drivers side is shorter.  The junction block for those wires is on the inner fender well just behind the radiator support.

Thanks for the responses.  I had the buckets powder coated with the leads removed.
