Stock or Aftermarket headlights??

Can anyone tell me if the headlights on my newly purchased '83 240D are stock or if these are aftermarket?

i don't know how one can tell from the photo. if the question is about the headlamps and not the painted trim, then stock was sealed bulbs, and upgraded would be H4 lenses with separate bulbs.

I'm referring to the trim. It has Bosch printed on each one. I've never seen a 240D with headlight trim like this.

That trim is someone's ghetto fix. Looks horrid.

It appears the previous owner painted the headlight trim to match the body.
