Each should be labeled if its an issue, the cut-off plates may be different. The driverside will have less of a plate as to not blind oncoming traffic and give you a further viewing distance in front of you and to the passenger side. As long as its from the states, you should be fine... The ones from countries that drive on the wrong, I mean left side of the road will be backwards and would need to be flipped (the cut-off plates, not the projectors)

I have jdm q45 projectors and I don't see any difference in the cut-off plates. The left and right side projectors are essentially the same. The only difference I can see is the angle of the bulb holder which shouldn't affect anything.

Thanks a lot guys for the input
I found a seller that had 2 q45 projectors both came off from the left side of its original headlight and was wondering if it would fit in the 2nd gs if I use the the bracket from Lexury mod to do the retrofit
