No there is no difference. I have gone through three differnedt sets of
tail=light
assemblies, and they are NOT "handed", however, I have noticed subtle
differences in the
lenses themselves, but this is not do to being right or left handed, but
because of
'flaws' in the 'gang-mold' used to create the lenses.
