Default What year will the dealership replace my headlights with?

I will be picking up a 2011 certified pre-owned 350 this Saturday at a Lexus dealership. While checking it out this weekend I noticed what I understand to be "bubbling on both headlights." If I not mistaken "bubbling," refers to bubbling damage that is on the portion of the black headlight piece?

If I am not mistaken on what bubbling is, will they replace them with brand new 2011's, "new"/refurbished 2011's, 2012's or which route would they take?

Also, can somebody provide me with the TSB? I'm sure any respectable dealership would be aware of this issue, but having something in hand might expedite the process

2012+ is what they should be giving you. My 2011 F was replaced under the tsb.

The 2012+ use a black chrome inside the housing compared to Matt black which was in my 2011.
