Ron,

Or you could have them like I did and they will point in opposite 
directions.  Took a while to see your point but after looking at the 
two different styles the "European" style has the curved flutes (?) 
on the right side when looking directly at it and the British style 
is the opposite.

I guess it isn't dependent on LHD or RHD.  It depends on which side 
of the road you drive on.  Correct?  So I want "European" style here 
in the states (dipping to the right)?  I have two of the "European" 
style but only one has the parking light hole.  Get the drill!

Thanks for the help!  Check and application are in the mail!!
