How to Check the Production Date of Volkswagen Jetta Headlights?
2 Answers
The production date of Volkswagen Jetta headlights can be found on the stamp of the headlight. Below is an introduction to the headlights: 1. Turning away from AUTO is the manual mode. Lifting the switch (toward the steering wheel direction) indicates the high beam signal, while the opposite direction (pushing down) is the high beam, and returning it to the original position is the low beam. 2. The low beam is designed for close-range lighting, with the requirement of a wide illumination range (160°), short illumination distance, and non-adjustable focus. 3. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions.
Having driven a Jetta for so many years, I've gained some experience in checking headlight production dates. You need to open the hood and look on the side or back cover of the headlight assembly, where there's usually a set of raised numerical codes. For example, if you see a dot-matrix code like '•24•19•', it means the headlight was produced in the 19th week of 2024. If it's a sticker label, it will directly show a date format like '2024-05'. If the production dates of the left and right headlights differ by more than three months, it's likely that the car was in an accident and the lights were replaced. By the way, the last two digits of the year are fixed, but don't confuse the week number with the month—May corresponds to weeks 19-22, so it's best to check a calendar for accuracy.
