First of all, the hood and bumper will fit with no problems at all. The passenger fender will work as long as you are using the '84 front bumper. The headlight assemblies will bolt up but the motor wiring is completely different so you would either have to rewire your car to work with the headlights or swap your '89 motors onto the '84 assemblies.

Re: 84 parts on an 89 bird

Thirgen Ranch is correct on the headlight motors. It would be more work than its worth to rewire the car though, if you need the motors get those from another car $200 for the other parts is well worth it.

I have a hl bracket from an 85 on my 89 but I used my orginal motor.

the styling on the 84 is different and I think the GFX mounting holes are different but nothing that can't be corrected.
