They're the ones that look different from the older ones.

And they're the ones made after 10/03.

the facelifted ones have a slightly different pattern to the tail lights, instead of "waffle" looking plastic, it is "lines" a la CELIS lights...

the front bumper is a different pattern, with front fenders wrapping slightly differently than the older ones and the bumper going all the way up to the headlights, while in the older ones, there was a separate piece that was between the headlights and the bumper...

the headlights' corners are slightly different shape...

of course, the facelifted ones have factory coronas, AKA Angel Eyes...

if you can see the roof, the pano roof was on the facelifted ones, even though regular sunroof carried on from older to the newer versions...

those are the visual cues that i can think off... the changeover happened with the 2004 model, if i am not mistaken...

let me know if you are going to be purchasing that, If not I would not mind, as I just need the wire harness and the plug in module to finish my set up
