Well, I'm wrong. there is a slot. However, you might want to turn the bulb base around so the connector points in the same direction as the tab. That's the way I found my driver's side. It might get tricky to put in if it's pointing away from that tab.I don' think so. Measure the depth of the light. That tab goes on the other side of the fascia. You put the front in first, and then push in the back end until the clip snaps.
