straight from my '88:



Car was 99% original, but who knows, as you can see how easy it would have been to just switch them. Hope someone else can chime in!

Re: Correct Headlight **** For 89 RS???

i would assume its that style, since yours was an 88, and thats the more modern headlight symbol but who knows.....IIRC mine was the old school but it to could of been changed, the original owner loved getting j/u parts that fit, not that matched when it came to small details, now im tring to get things right and im like

#2. The other switch was from 82-88, not 89.

Re: Correct Headlight **** For 89 RS???

yea, i wasn't sure if they would change that in 89 when i thought that 90 switched everything to yellow, so i figured they woudln't do a 1 year thing. Seems strange, glad you could clarify! Learned something new today . Also, if you haven't noticed, it is used, so if you have a junk yard near you, you might as well get a correct one yourself. Good luck!

I looked in my owner's manual and they don't show any symbols. The light switch in my 88 IROC is #1.
