Default What year headlights are compatable with 1993 Bonnie SSE

Hello all,
This past weekend I was driving home and rear-ended the person infront of me. Long story short ALL my front lights were crushed (along with the grille) . So now i am looking around to replace the headlights. My question is what year Bonnie headlights are compatable with the 1993 SSE Bonnie. Thanks for all your help ppl!

Some Pontiac TranSport van headlights are also compatible with the 92-95.

Yes; to be specific, second-generation Chevy Lumina and Pontiac Trans Sport minivans use the same headlamps. Couple of notes to go with that:

1) "Second generation" means _not_ the original paint-scraper noses, such as the one that the Olds Silhouette kept all the way through 1997; it means the 1994-1996 Pontiac or Chevy models _only_.

2) The side-marker lights are not the same as the Bonneville; only the headlamp assemblies are interchangeable.

Trust me; I own one of each.

Some of the 1992 headlamps are slightly different. They have writing on them.

Well I am not going for looks right now. I have a Bonneville with no lights and I need to get them on my car ASAP. Thanks everyone for your help. I have found all the lights I need on eBay (woohoo!)

There are two peices i need that I forgot to mention in my original post. I damaged the License plate holder and the front grill also. I'm going to head to a salvage yard tomorrow to find them but incase I run out of luck anyone know where i can buy those two items?

Thanks again everyone! idk what is my fav forum now... www.Treocentral.com or www.Bonnevilleclub.com! hehe
