How the hell can these simple plugs cause the failure just from being swapped?

I don't drive my Supra at night so I really do not care to fix this as I hate taking my cars to the dealers, but is there a way to check the plugs on my own?

Do I have to remove the headlights from the car to verify this..? which means I need to remove the front bumper? Which means time to install some Supertones..!

TIA

Pop the hood and look at the four plastic plugs that are in the black plastic trim above the headlights (the plugs are about a quarter in size). If the outer two have the indentation for a screw driver and the inner two are flat you are good. If the outer two are flat and inner two have the indentation you are not good. The recall is literally swapping these if you are not good.

This is kind of weird because the service manual has both slotted covers. Plus got to be blind not seeing the L - R embossed into the plastic trim on the car.

I didn't even have my reading glasses on and could see one is for L-R one for Up-Down.
