The A thru D ones were on a 71 endura car I did 5 years ago, I can't recall for sure but it seemed like it was left to right starting with A on the left(?)

I went thru a box of misc headlight buckets I have here & the ones with legible letter codes were all over the map.....some OC, R, O, D etc. The code may have depended on the supplier or year so it's probably not the best way to tell where they go.

The high & low buckets are different. There is a set of 3 locating tabs on the back of the bulbs and those set in notches in the buckets. If you lay a high and low bucket on top of each other you'll see the difference in one of the notches. The pics show the difference in the notches, it is small but enough to keep the bulb from fitting. The first pic show a low beam bulb in a high beam bucket. When you see a car with a headlight bulb a little off looking they probably have the wrong bucket in that position.

The easiest way may be to put your bulbs in first then lay them out in their proper orientation (left & right, high & low). The adjuster slots will be on the top and outboard sides.
