Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out!
The LED Combination Trailer Tail Light # STL57RB you're looking at is for the left-hand (driver's) side. For the right-hand (passenger's) side you'll need part # STL56RB instead.
The main difference between these two light assemblies is the driver side has a clear light on the bottom that's used to illuminate the trailer license plate.
Which one were you needing?
