Headlamp and tailamp question....

Post by SHOCK79 »

I have a 1985 SR5 4wd Wagon and I was in an accident over the winter. I hit a guardrail and broke out both my headlamp/side marker lamp and tail lights on the passenger side. My inspection just came up and I need to replace these in order to re-inspect. My local junkyard has a 1987 Deluxe wagon 4wd. Can I swap out the light set between the two vehicles??? Any help is greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, the tail lights should be the same, the headlights would be different though, but you may be able to make them fit. Try it!

Or just do an upgrade.

i think carquest or napa the sealed beam headlights are like 20ish a piece, so 40 for the headlights new, and the tailights maybe 10 bucks a piece if they really care.

so in total junkyard probably 35 bucks or so.

napa or carquest or online- 60+

Send a PM to neonsport; he's been parting out keith's '86, which was a really clean car; I'll bet he has what you need. He's in AR.
