Hi everyone! I'm lucky owner of 2016 durango in Germany. I'm from Ukraine and my Dodge has ukrainian registration for now. To pass TUV according to local rules, headlights must be identified by DOT number to pass first technical inspection. But i cannot find any signs on it. After removing headlight i found "14WD" sign in the back. Can someone share the full data please? Thanks!

WD is the platform and 2014 was probably the year it was approved for use or it's first use since the Durango got a refresh that year.

Yeah, that's right. The whole number must be looking like this DOT VOL SAE HG HR AIPP2 11WD, it's from 2013 durango. This sign is from german document, not from the part.
You should always be able to see the DOT number without removing the headlight. It's typically visible imprinted in or under the clear plastic. I don't know for sure where they put it on the 2016, but on my 2021 it's on the top front edge visible when you open the hood:

Hopefully this helps in finding it!

The 2014-2020 lights have it on the front of the lens right at the bottom. It's almost impossible to see, however.

And i found it! On front bottom of glass, it was no any posibility to recognize symbols without flashlight and special point of view. Thank you all! Solved! Later i'll adapt backlights for eu standart and share with you one of the popular solutions! Thanks again.
You have a stupid country there as well as a stupid EU if this miniscule question is really a thing.

Actually, I'm pretty OK with them making sure imported vehicles have proper headlights.

I agree, however using DOT/FMVSS-108 as the standard for "proper" is pretty bottom-barrel and a little frightening... USDM headlights are objectively awful compared to ROW headlights.
