Lookin' for some parts

[Laffin69]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for replacement tail lights for my Regal, as well as a grille.

Any ideas where to look would be great, its an '82.

Thanks.

In case you didn't already know the 84'-87' Regal/ GN /T-Type tail lights are a direct bolt in for 81'-83' Regal's and IMO look better.

That I did not know, I’m just having a hard time finding even aftermarket stuff

Well, you've got some options and I guess the questions are as follows:

1) can you confirm its an original 1981-1983 style header panel and hasn't been replaced through the years with 84-87? They both fit, but the grille you need varies accordingly.

2) does originality matter? 1981 and 1982 are close, they vary in the number of thin fins in between thick ones. A 1983 grille fits, but is much more different, it has a very thick bar every few slats. Tha tinfluences your choice.

3) as noted above, you can use the 84-87 style taillight if desired. It depends on the look you're going for.

You'll find 84-87 parts are more expensive due to the more popular versions of the turbo cars driving higher prices for the parts.
