Default T-3 headlight numbers?

There are a some letters and numbers on the right hand side of the bulbs. Are these date codes or what? If they are date codes how do you decode them?

Examples:

S7
A3

S4
A4

S1
A4

S1
A7

Thanks

I don't think so. I think the low is "2" and the high is "1". the "1" and "2" are located near the top of the bulb.

56Heap - Thanks!

The numbers I listed in the first post are on the outside of the bulbs. Any idea about those?

Most likely they're supplier codes/mold numbers for the lens; Guide purchased the lenses from outside suppliers.

I agree different letters are logos from different suppliers , Numbers are different molds in which the glass was made. Like on your engine you see in large letters GM= which is a logo ,then next to it a number 6 or 13 that is the mold number
