Is it normal for the production dates of new car headlights to be different?

[MacOlive]

It is normal if the production dates are not significantly different. However, if there is a large discrepancy, it generally indicates that the headlights were replaced due to issues during transportation. Pay attention to check whether the screws on the headlights show signs of being turned, as factory screws are smooth and flat. The vehicle's production date is displayed on the nameplate on the door. As long as the production dates of both headlights are not later than the vehicle's production date, it indicates that the car is in its factory condition. Below is additional information: Important notes: If the production date exceeds the vehicle's production date, there is a problem. It is normal for parts on a car to have inconsistent production times, but one thing must be confirmed: no matter how much the production times of the parts differ, they should not exceed the production date on the nameplate. If the headlight's production date is later than the vehicle's production date, it means the headlight was replaced after the car left the factory.
