Grand Am headlights seem a bit taller?

Allowing for the angle of the pic, I think he's right. They look very simliar if not identical.

I personally think they are different. The GA's look more square and taller...

i was noticing that they only did these types of headlights the first year the GA was made. i tthink they are the ones, because the angle on the grill is about right. i first thought they came from a century, but the angle didnt quite match up.

The Bonny lights have a chrome strip along the top. The GA's don't.

in the first pic though, the GA's whole assembly was chrome. it looks like thats the way it is with the bonneville too. just maybe the assembly sticks out a bit, exposing that finish.

I'be got an 85 Buick Somerset. Same lights. No strip.

but the angle of the grill is off though. those look like they could fit in a century. i just think that strip is a product of the assembly not fitting flushly in the car. also note, that the GA hood hangs over the assembly a bit too.

you know there is only one way to solve this...

any volunteers?

Doesn't it come down to a simple reasoning? Those look like sealed beam lights. They only made a couple different sizes. Or am I totally off?
