Narrative:
I reported to maintenance that our left wing illumination light was inoperative. I saw a mechanic check the physical condition of the correct light before a deferral was made for continuing with the light inoperative. En route, I received a message from ZZZ that the wrong light had been deferred. If we had access to the MEL we could doublechk these things.
