Default How can you distinguish Green Vs Non-Green headlights?
Obviously by the green tint but is there any other things that changed from the 98-00 to 01-05 headlights beside the green tint?

I noticed on various headlights that the leveler bubble and plastic cover over it are different, did that change at a certain year?

That's all I can think of too, I am not sure if the older GS300/400 had the self-adjust HID's like the GS430 and the newer 300's.

01+ has a bubble leveler for both high beams and low beams. Also there's another adjustment **** thingy by the high beam.
