headlight doors
I'm working on replacing some busted up grille and headlight parts on my 84. Well I'm over on rockauto and I don't want the doors for the 84 because they're the dark grey/black so I went up to a 87? I believe and its these part #s here GM2513126 and GM2512126, I'm assuming these will work fine am I good to order these?
Thanks, Ricky |

Re: headlight doors
Actually the term headlamp doors is correct too Jeff. I dont know why, but that what they called them at a couple of body shops I worked at years ago.

Re: headlight doors
Lol yeah I think it's crazy they're called doors too but oh well. Nobody know if these will work or not? I'm 99% sure they will just wanted a solid answer from someone.

Re: headlight doors
The '87 headlight doors will bolt on to your '84 just fine. I assume you know they are a slightly different style.

Re: headlight doors
Sorry Jeff, just have to show you that you're wrong.
![]() Been in the body shop business 30ish years, always been called headlight doors. You order a headlamp bezel and you're liable to end up getting a retaining ring instead.

Re: headlight doors

Re: headlight doors
They look pretty good. I was hoping they weren't going to be super thin and flimsy
