Lights On Different Ways Round?!

[Captain Backfire]

I have a twin slider 2018...
Why are my rear sliding door lights on different? Passenger light is on the rear part of the step facing forward and the drivers side is on the front of the step facing backwards! I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation.

Cheap ass VW. Same step on both sides.

I was going to mention about the complexities of persons being left handed & r/handed and vehicles being r/hand drive & l/hand drive etc in order to explain why VW choose to fit the steps in this way. But Deaky worded it better.

Exactly the same on my twin slider. As Deaky says; pure and simple VW cost cutting!
