CHEVY CAMARO 1985-1992 (Only on the models that has stock clear signal lens, does NOT fit on the models with stock Amber Signal Lights. Bumper Signal Size sold here has the size of8" Length x 3" Height x 4.5" Depth"


im just trying to figure out why they wouldnt fit in the old amber ones, are the dimensions different??

Not sure what they are saying - never seen any 3rd gen with amber housings - they were all clear housings with amber bulbs in the front bumper. Might be something in the 1982 & 1983 year, I don't know - they had a few oddities in the 1st years until the bugs were worked out. You have a 1986, I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they are fine.

They won't fit 82-84 any model. They front turn signals are smaller, iirc. They are set into the bumper cover more. I think that also goes for 85-87 Sport Coupes.

And they are amber/orange in color for the lens.

I seem to remember that the signals on my 85 berlinetta 2.8L base had amber lenses. Haven't looked at it in years. Still sitting wrecked in my barn. I think it has amber lenses and they are a different shape then my Iroc's. Ill take a refresher look this weekend when I am doing some parts swaps.

Yes the side markers have amber color lenses. I have two sets of fenders with them in it in my garage

JUst pick up a can of nightshades VHT, this way you can spray them until you have the desired darkness, just be sure to use a clear afterwards.
