Headlight bezel 1981 Regal

[Kjell Asgeir Moum]

Hi!! I am looking for new headlight bezel to my 1981 Regal A-body. I wonder if the newer bezel will fit the 1981 mod? Those from 1984-88.

the 1981 was a g-body and had 4 headlight bulbs, the 1980 was an A-body, and had 2 headlights. 1981-1983 had the same bezels, and the 1984-1987 had different bezels that weren't interchangeable to the earlier years

hope this helps, and welcome to the forum! introduce yourself in the newcomer threads, and be sure to post pics!

81 was still an A body 82 was the change over year. The 84 bezels will fit the 81-83 header panel but it will take some mods to the header panel.

When you mention mods, is it for the mounting or the size of the "hole" for the bezels? Are we talking about mods that need repainting?

I have a driver side bezel off an 83 I pulled today. I would consider it driver condition . Not sure if that's what side you need..timo22

I have get a new one for right (passenger) side. So I am looking for a new new one at left side, ....or I should upgrade to 1984- , to have new fresh ones.

Here's what a 84 + bezel looks like on an earlier panel.

And the part that needs to be removed for clearance on the turn signal.
