Default 2015 Headlight Replacement

So, I need to replace my right headlight on my 2015 GS350. When I run my VIN, I am told the direct replacement is 8114530F81 - which looks likes a rolling change half way thru the model year. I'm trying to find a replacement headlight on ebay and I'm not sure of the differences between an earlier 2015 (or 2014) headlight, and the one that is in my car.

Lexus don't have mid year changes like german cars... In other words difference is Fsport / Lexury / Base models to be short in description.

Thanks for the reply - much appreciated.

A few key pieces of info:
- When I use the VIN decoder on the site (Vin is : JTHCE1BL8FA006013), I'm reading that this car is a base model.
- When I look online at lexusparts.com, and I put in my year (2015), I'm recommended that I can use part # 8114530F80. (https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...145-30f80.html).
- However, once I put in my VIN, I am told that this headlight will not work, and I need to change it to 8114530F81 (https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...06013&Filter=() ) (which is consistent to what the dealer is telling me).

So, I was hoping if someone might be able to tell me the difference between the 8114530F80 and the 8114530F81? They look the same, and the *80 version is plentiful on ebay. However, the *81 version is not readily available on ebay.
