FYI. If you do not see the number stamped in your bucket, chances are you
have an aftermarket replacement.

     Hi guys,
     Over the years lots of people have asked about the location of the
     VIN stamped in the headlight buckets. The buckets were hand-fitted
     to each car and then stamped, so they could be painted separately
     and reunited with the proper car.
     I happened to have one pass through my hands and broke out the
     camera to clear up any confusion once and for all.
     Here is a photo of the bucket, where you can just make out the
     stamping on the inside, between the two near most studs.
     And here is a close up of the stamping, 5503 (RIP).
     Cheers!
