Revers light compatability - '65 98 to a '64 88

Smooth · November 29th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Does any one know if the reverse lights for a 1965 Olds 98 will fit the 1964 Olds 88 rear bumper? And/or what years are compatible? Mine had the two raised tabs for mounting, and the light coming into the back from the side.

Thank you in advance!

The basic concept for how the lights mount might be similar, but I am pretty sure the fullsize 65-66 reverse lights are unique in size from other years.

I don't believe the actual tail lights will interchange. The bulb and electrical socket is probably the same but you can get those at O'Reillys.

If not, we will MAKE it work.
