Glad you were able to pull the headlights, and personally I've found its best to wash down that crow with a malted beverage   :rotfl:

I have aftermarket fog lights and they fit without a problem. In this picture I used mounting brackets, but I've since replaced the bumper with one that has fog light holes and there were no clearance issues.

The stock fog lights were Marschall fog lights like could have been bought off the shelf in the same era.  Every once in a while some show up for sale but they're really no different than all the other universal lights of the same style.

One of the headlight adjusters is broken, also, but that's an easy fix.


The headlight adjusters are available at any auto parts store, look for the pink ones that are labeled to fit GM cars.

And for some reason go for some ridiculous prices. They haven't been produced for a number of years and were also available on some other 80's vehicles such as Mustangs making the demand high.
