92 taillamps

[ericS2the6]

Just been thinking , the tailamps on the 92's have a clear lens with an amber bulb, yet this was changed for 93/94. Anybody know why?

I believe the overall design is still the same isn't it? So one could go about collecting some from a salvage yard and connect them to a later year legacy. I wouldn't think it would be to hard to find a set either, seeing that all trim levels iirc were equipped with them in 92.

Has anyone done this or given it any thought. I think it just looks cleaner with the orange lacking.

or is it just my imagination i swear ive seen some us spec legacys with them tho!

Not sure you have the right years. 90-91 have a clear bulb but an orange plastic piece in there. Without disassembling the light you really can't get it out.

The 92-94 models I believe have the orange light instead.

[ericS2the6]

ok perhaps i wasnt being clear.

i own a 93 legacy.

I would like to put on the 92 taillamps. Im questioning whether the only difference between the years is the fact that the 92s have a clear lens.

so they should hypothetically fit on a 93/94 legacy.

i just wanted to check with you guys becuase im baffled on why they would make this change.

Oh yeah , I never noticed that. the 92 also doesn't have those lines where the amber bulb is. I like that better. I don't see why they would not interchange. but I will find out.

Sorry,

I misunderstood you. yeah, the 92 & 93-94 models should be interchangeable.

Just curious though.....did you take those two pictures of the rear tail lenses?

I just checked the parts sheet.....they definitely do list a different part #'s for the 92......bizzare.....

Just a clairification with the 92 tail lights they still use a clear bulb but have an orange insert behind the clear portion of the lens snaps in kinda like a lego peice so it should be easy removal if the housings are not on the car.

Homeslice,

So you installed the JDM auto climate control.

Was it a direct plug in? Easy to do?

Thanks

[HomeSlice]

only if you already have the digital climate in from the factory. thing that sucks is the us only got it on the 90-91 lsi's. so i got to change all the wiring and hookup the vacum modules to work corect. im trying to locate the wiring and heater box from a lsi so i could hook mine up. the unit gets power but the temp control does not work. once i figure it out i will post the parts you need. i am waiting to do the install when i change out my L interior for the turbo interior. i will already have the dash down to nothing and i can access the climate control more easy.

That was my thought - the temp that runs off a cable would not work, does the rest plug in?

Looks really good though!
