Default Headlight Differences

Do any of you see differences in headlight design between all the years? I was about to pick up a new set for my 95 but the dealership said there are two different part numbers for the headlights.

Maybe they meant for the high beams and low beams? Every year has the same style headlights.

The only difference I know of is that some high beam lenses are made of glass while others are plastic.

I think there are headlight differences. When I got used ebay ones, a couple socket/bulbs on my 94 did NOT fit in the headlight housings. I had to cut and resolder the wires also to make it work.

Did they look any different from the outside vs just not using the same bulb types?

There is a difference between 97-2000 to previous years for low beam headlights if they were manufacture after 2002, internally. Aesthetically speaking, exterior of the headlight remained the same. Refer to this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-off-line.html
