Different Headlight Bezel ?
on my 88 trans am I have one headlight that doesn't fit right.. someone seems to have put a different year bezel on it or something.. it was subtle and I didn't notice it for along time.. until now.. what's the deal? the curve of the black plastic is totally different, check out the pictures.. sorry about the sun flare...
Normal Left Hand
Different Right Hand
the left hand side is nicely contoured to the shape of the body.. the other is all square and extra gappy.. is that a different year or what?

only the left hand one even had the "pontiac" logo on it, so i dont know what the other is from. Just pickup a new 85-90 bezel and be done with it.

I figured out it's actually an early 82-84 firebird bezel, they were squarer, so yes I will go buy the 85-90 bezel, without the badge lol.. previous owner must have done that for whatever reason. thanks.
