jr i think the lights are the same if i am not mistaken, i think just the noses were different as like the camaros were in teh early 80's. my buddy has a 85 TA and i know he just bought a hood for a 82-92 firebird/ta so i am assuming. check around on ebay to see pics if you can see theyre different. doing some body work over winter? im in teh process of wet sanding/buffing mine out now... what a chore that is

headlights are different, the 82-90 style have the larger sealed beam lights, the 91-92 style have the smaller camaro sized sealed beam headlight. The differenc comes into account when they close, the 82-90 have a recess on the front bumper which they can close into, the 91-92 have a smaller profile on the front/top so they close into/under the front bumper cover. think where the directionals are on each of the styles. the motors are all the same mounting, some connectors are different. the headlight lids are all the same, but the actual mounts for the lights and the black trim surroundign them are different.

My car has no headlights just the headlight lids, so if i got two front fenders,front bumper from a 91 or 92 firebird, then it would work, or am i wrong. or call me (cell# 610-597-6459).Thanks. JR1.
