The timestamp in the pictures there, the ones on top, are not the correct timestamps to look at... Those are for the otp rubber trim. The one you need to look at is the one on the back of the headlight housing.

That car must have had the headlights changed...surely!
I had mine from new,its a 2003 production and on my headlights its stamped 8/02 and 12/02.
I cant remember,I am sure its been said here before but can someone please confirm if these can be opened for AEs?:thumbup:

The headlights have been replaced, sorry but those ones are sealed.

:iagree: That's the stamp you need to look for... not the ones on top of the weather strip.

How do you know that for sure?????:confused:

Look at the headlights, they look almost brand new. Almost no hazing whatsoever :dunno: Could have been refinished too but look at this one which is a 02, notice the condition of the headlights. Not making any assumptions here it just seems reasonable that they have been changed.
