Headlight door

Are the headlight doors from the '87-90 Firebirds interchangable with the '91-92's? I would really like to not have to deal with the "Pontiac" on the driver's side headlight door when I wax the car.

Nope, 91-92 headlights are different . The Pontiac logo would be easy to fill and paint over.

Re: Headlight door

One of the mounting points for the 91-92 door is different. So, no they are not a direct swap.

Yeah they are way differant. The 91/92 light sit flush with the nose when they are down. You would have to do a nose swap to use the 91/92 headlights on a 82-90 car.
