What is the PN for lights.

Who makes those lights ?

 

[82CutSupreme]

Glass 4x6 h4 housings from js_power on Ebay with Aukee 50 watt 6000k LED conversion bulbs on Amazon. Bulbs plug right in no need to rewire... 50 watts so they don't burn out headlight switch 🤞

7.5 It's 99.9% factory stock.

In 1982, they had one rear end available for Cutlass. The 7.5". The 8.5" didn't come in G-bodies until 1984.

8.2 was used in applications through 1972. There was a 10 bolt and 12 bolt heavier duty version. IIRC, they got rid of the 12 bolt and made a "hybrid style" 8.5".

Simply look at the pumpkin of the rear end.

Side by side pics of G body rears? 7.5? 8.5?

Anyone got a link or a picture showing a 7.5 rear next to a 8.5? Also any way from the outside to tell if its 10 bolt or 12? THANKS (why isnt there a sticky for this stuff??) :D

If you don't have an idea of which rear your car came with look under the back. If you see pointy fangs at the bottom at the 5 and 7 o'clock positions on the housing, it's a 7.5. If you see triangles, it's an 8.5. Those are the only G-body choices you had from the factory.

Thanks for the info I will definitely get underneath and check it out.. It's so stock that I'm assuming from what you said it's probably the 7.5...
