Driving light/fog light confusion 91 350 SDL

Just received a new headlight door for right side. Had noticed that right side driving light had yellow tint and left side was not tinted. Changing Right side HL door and remover driving light cover and the bulb cover is yellow. Is that the way it is supposed to be or has the left side been replaced? The left HL door is newer/clearer than right. Maybe entire HL assy replaced with non=yellow driving light?

Let me ask the above question again in a simpler way. What is the correct configuration of the driving lights/fog lights in the headlight ***'y on a 91 350 SDL. Yellow on both sides, clear on both sides, yellow on right, clear on left or something else?

Dave,

Based on the Electronic Parts Catalog, it's a white bulb behind an amber lens on both sides.

Thank you. Mine has amber lens, white bulb on rt, and the left is white with what appears to be a horizontal type bulb. It wud have to be a completely different HL assy. I may take the cover off and see what's there. I think I like the white better. BTW, can the HL levels be adjusted easily by the owner(me)? I am getting heat now even when the "O" button pushed. Thank you for your help.
