Default Tail Light Question

Are the 80 and 90 tail lights inter changeable. I want to put a euro plate in the back, and i think i can fit the plate in with the 80 tail light setup.

Default depends on what you mean by 80 and 90

If you mean US spec 80, which is a B3.. no, you cannot fit the tail lights of a B3 onto a B4, which is a US spec 90.

If you get Euro Spec 80 tail lights, which over there it's called the B4, then yes, you can.

Default B3's come in 80's and 90's with different tail lights?

because the b3 90 tail lights look the same as the b4 90 tails. The 80's have the reverse lights on the outside of the plate, the 90's have the revese light in the middleish of the light. Or does that not matter?

Default As I've typed out at least 1 or 2 times in the past week...B4 sedan tails are B4 specific...

...B3 sedan and B4 avant are the same. CQ are CQ specific, Cab are Cab specific.

You can take Euro B4 80 tails and put them on your B4 90 no problem. Anything else won't fit/work properly.

Default They are different from B3 to B4 (US)

Call PUMA and see what they can do for you. If I remember the guy's name I used to deal with was Paul.

If you can locate the Euro part# for the piece you want, he can source it from the UK.

I ordered a new centre for my B3 90 and it was only around $200 brand new including shipping.

Got the same for the Coupe too, but haven't put it on yet.

Default Compare how curved the B4 tails are to the more boxy B3 lights...

B4:

Default Yeah, really surprised me too.

Alex gave me a price at the time and it was much higher.
