Here's the deal......

These things have a different part number for ALL FOUR headlamp buckets. There are some on fleabay, used in decent shape, but you must know which one you need. Or if you need all 4.... There's a LH Outer, LH Inner (hibeam), RH outer, RH inner (hibeam)

Give me a minute and I'll drag up some GM part number for you.

These aren't cheap cheap, but they're a lot cheaper than NOS. All 4 if this is what you need. Get new trim rings too. Look to be in decent shape....comes out to be about $22 each bucket, which if you buy a new set, they want a couple hundred for just the 4 buckets without trim rings.

No rhyme or reason as to how they numbered them...

GM# 5966080 LH OUTER
5966081 RH OUTER
5966082 RH INNER
5966083 LH INNER


Still available from GM for list price of 85.75 EACH!!!! GMpartsdirect.com will sell them to you for 55.87 each. Still....ouch.

check out Rockauto , listed as a headlight assembly.
my 2 cents


So the thing with rock auto is they come with the bulbs as well and each one is like 40 bucks. Im upgrading my headlights to H4 so i dont need the bulb or the rings. Just the back of that assembly.
