Re: headlight

It should. Don't really think they changed much during the run. Only issue I see is putting in one that had fog lights on a car that didnt have them.

There is a single 1/4" bolt in the center of the C100 plug that you unscrew and then the harness can be split to get the headlight portion off.

It's sort of a pain to get to but it's not difficult.

I think you ought to do a bit more research before plugging any "non native" (exact year & model) harness into your car and here's why ; Many has been the time that I have read here of folks needing to "Repin" their different year harnesses that they want to use because the configuration of which pin of the C100 connector does which job DID change over the years and you could run into troubles if any of those changes do involve the headlights . I will tell you that I mostly recall it being engine differences (TBI vs TPI for example) that involved needing to be repined but I also have seen differences in the lighting circuits across the various years & models of our thirdgens that would make me want to check pin for pin that it's truly identical before plugging it in .
