light....years

My 82 Z has the one piece parklight assembly all made of plastic. One of the ears is broken and I was wondering if after the 3 years they made them like mine,if the brackets on the later version lines up with my clips?

The 85-up parking lights are completely different.

I've never heard of the body mounting holes being in different spots, if your thinking of swapping for later year tail lights.

My 84 was the same as my 90 & 92 I had at the time.

The limit is your own skill and imagination, but in a nut shell, the design is completely different. They're different sizes and the brackets and bolts are in different locations. About the only thing in common between them is they both came on cars named Camaro.
