I believe its the drivers side.

with the ballast ATTACHED haha

Awww, sucks cuz I have the passenger side.

You do need to open up the housing in order to swap that part because it's part of the projector.

Wait up, let me take a few pic's for you to see!

eastwest2300 · 10-11-2012, 09:18 PM

Wouldnt the passenger and the drivers side be the same, I would think so.

weiboy718 · 10-11-2012, 09:25 PM

Negative, the studs holding onto the projector bracket has L and R orientation.

Yeah, that is part of the projector. You will need to replace the whole thing. Confirm which side for sure, I have no use for it and I can give it to your for free.
