Hello there. This question might sound stupid but the other day I ordered some car parts that look like the exact same thing, it says on the site that they will fit. Just out of curiosity I tried their, ask our mechanic if it will fit" or something like that service and now I'm confused. Two pretty much identical headlight's same part number the right one fits and the left one doesn't. How does that work? I'll write in the parts number if that will help you.

214-11A4R-LD-2 ABAKUS - right headlight that is supposed to fit.
214-11A4L-LD-2 ABAKUS - this is the left on that they say it won't fit even though the number is the same.
Thank you in advance!

It's possible that there is a mistake in the part numbers between the right and left headlights. It's also possible that there is a manufacturing defect or variation in the left headlight that is causing it to not fit properly, even though it has the same part number as the right one. In either case, it's recommended to reach out to the parts supplier or manufacturer to clarify the issue and to determine the best course of action. They may be able to provide more information about the differences between the two headlights and why the left one is not fitting properly.
