Narrative:
On tuesday 11/02 I changed the left hand aft strobe light assembly and cleared dms 11-35. The deferred maintenance item 11-35 was for the r-hand aft strobe light assembly. I signed off the logbook and cleared the deferred maintenance item. The following night it was brought to my attention that I had changed the wrong assembly. The deferred maintenance item has subsequently been reopened.
