Default front bumper differences?
Ok, my sc doesn't have foglights in them and I am not sure which one I have. I know it's not 97+. I just need to know so I know what lights to get. Thanks.

ps i did a search and all it gives me is the cornering light vs. foglight deal. Thanks.

Mine is a 95. But I am not sure if the bumper is a 95 as well...just wondering if there are obvious signs.

I can't tell from your sig but if your lower center grill is black plastic which is held on with screws then it's a 95/96 bumper.

You have 95/96 bumper as Tabaka said, maybe the previous owner took out the fogs.

Correct, you can not use the 92-94 fogs. They seem like theyre the same but arent. I believe the the differences are mainly in the back and how theyre mounted.

lordy.....

92-94 have cornering lights and ARE NOT foglights.
95-96 have FOGLIGHTS
97-00 have FOGLIGHTS

you have a 95-96 bumper so you can only buy 95-96 foglights and you CANNOT buy 92-94 cornering lights. they almost look the same but they are not interchangeable as the backings are different. other differences are one is an actual foglight which uses a different bulb and has a different beam pattern. the other is just a light that shoots out the side when you use your blinker
