1990 Legacy - Are 1992/93 Parts Interchangable???

Post by 1evlwrx »

I have a 1990 Legacy that needs some TLC, I was wondering if I could put headlights, corners and a grille from a 1992?

Thank you for any and all help...

No, not unless you swapped the fender, hood, etc. too. Possible? Yes. Practical? No.

I have done it but their are areas on the core support you have to cut out for clearance for side markers also the headlights mounting holes are different. A drill and some washers to get headlight to line up with the new hood. It can be done but it is easer to find correct parts.

Also grab the hood latch, 90 will work but 92-94 has longer latch to open hood.
