I thought those front clear blinkers of 88/89 fit right on to the old style bumpers but no go, Just about bought them but realized there too long, that bites ... so I guess you would have to buy the whole bumper to put them on or custom make your own. Or has anyone made them work ? :)

I used the overhead light covers for the long flourecent light tubes, then layed my stock orange ones on the big light sheet, traced the blinker, then cut it out with a dremel, drilled two holes in it, then put them in my bumper. They came out ok, i guess....

I swapped on an 88-89 bumper on my 87 and leared the lights, I'v ebeen running like that since Jan. of last year with no problems from the car or the cops.

as long as you put an orange bulb on in there, you're fine. Other cars come stock with clear lenses w/orange bulbs

It's not that easy for the 86-87 car's. The stock housing only fits a dome shaped lens, not a flat one. The housing has to be modified for a flush mount. And then you have a problem in that the whole assembly is sunk deep into the bumper. Mounting the housing in a way that brings it more flush, make's them look sooooo much better on the 86-87 cars. And floresent lighting panels are extreamly thin and brittle, I used clear turn signal stock and it's 20 times tuffer than anything you can pick up at home depot. I can make anyone a set of my custom near flush mount clears.
