Difference in Cutlass and GN headlight bezel?

[400sbcdon]

My GN is missing its factory headlight bezel and mounting parts so i bought some off a 81 Cutlass and got them painted but it appears that they are different from what should be there. One of the mounting holes doesnt line up and they do not sit flush the way I think that they should. Does anyone have pics or info on if they are different and what they should look like, plus how they mount because the speedy nuts are missing also.

They're not even close. Here are a couple photos of my crates. Note that the Cutlass bezel does not accommodate a side-marker turn signal lamp as it is located in the bumper belt line. Also, the center divider between the headlights on the Regal is angled whereas the Cutlass is straight.

There are plenty of folks on this site that can supply you with a correct bezel. Just post in the Parts Wanted section.

the ones i have look like the ones on your GN with the side marker lights also but the bottom hole on the side does not line up

Cutlasses of that era didn't have integral side markers so I don't know what you have there. For future reference, the only common outer body parts between the '81-88 Cutlass and '81-87 Regal are the doors.

81-83 regals have different bezels IIRC.
