Swapping my 84 front for a 85-92......

Do I have to re-wire anything for fog lights or do anything more than swap the bumpers?

Thanks!

All of the front lighting will be a direct swap to the '85-'92 from the '84 nose.You will have to add the wiring for the fog lights as they weren't available until '85 from the factory.Make sure to use a relay to carry the light load instead of the switch.You may also want to upgrade the headlight wiring too.There's an article in the Tech section.

Why would I have to re-wire the headlights, I can use my 84 headlights with the 85-92 bumper right?

thank you for your reply coolram!
