RS your car came from quebec right? Which like I said, is a haven for car theft and chop shops... those #'s you see everywhere, are probably tags to deter thieves from chopping your car, and parting it out. I know our old audi had it done, was also a quebec car. So if your car was ever stolen, you'd report to somebody to watch out for those #'s popping up on other peoples cars.

Who knows how it works... I'm guessing -- but I do think that is what the #'s are for.

yea thats what me and my bro kinda thought. i guess it could even work for an accident, and if the headlight was replaced, i guess the headlight would have a different 9 digit number then the rest of the stuff. the car thieft circle in quebec is crazy.
