In the first place they look old, and were originally black. If I find ones that 
are yellow, bright blue, red, or any fluorescent color those get saved in a 
different pile. The OE ones were F & S and had the VW part # stamped on 
them. If they're not too rusty you may still be able to read it. Once you see a 
few you know what they look like.

They're also likely to be the only ones that are both old AND still damping in 
both directions.  ;-)
