Default 996 (986) headlight differences

Does anyone know when and why there were different versions of the headlights? Some had painted inner shroud and some didn't... Was that changed over the years? I now it was done on the Amber lights, not sure about the clear lights.

I just realized there was a difference, but have always wondered why some headlights looked better than others, aside from the clearness of the lens... Did the clear lenses come with painted shrouds too?

That's actually a second shroud under the clear shroud. Some have them, some don't.
With the 30+ sets I've seen, it seems pretty random.

your pictures didn't load. By inner shroud I meant second, but I can change my terminology

That's weird, why did some come painted and others not? Must have been an option or model related some how no? I prefer the painted...
