You are watching: What side is the right side of a car
Many people feel confused when discussing which side of the car they need to buy a part for. Some feel it is best to call out “driver” or “passenger” to try and get clarity.
The problem with this is, not everyone’s car has the driver’s seat on the same side! We mostly deal with Japanese cars here at Heeltoe, and in Japan, the driver sits on the right. “Driver’s side” would maybe buy you the wrong side.
Some might say, “Hey, this is ‘Merica! We all drive on the LEFT side.” Well, that is true if you live in America or most other countries on Earth. But, the importation of JDM cars to the US is on the rise. Likewise, Heeltoe ships parts all over the world! We’ve got customers in the UK, Japan, and even many places such as Barbados and Jamaica where they could be driving just about anything. As customer service experts, how are we to clearly know what side is the driver’s side?

That’s it! So don’t get confused by looking at the front of the car and thinking your right is the right side of the car. And next time you say “I need a left fender,” and the guy behind the counter asks “driver’s side?” say, “No, left side.” It might be fun.
FUN FACT: Honda part numbers are coded in such a way that the first 5 digits tell you what a part is. Bumper, piston, emblem, etc. if there is a right and left for a part, the right side is alwaysnumerically lower number. So for a 1997 Honda Civic headlight:
