Default Updating C4 bumpers to 91-96 style

I am hoping someone can provide some insight into updating my 85
C4 to the 91-96 style. I am using all genuine GM parts. The issue
I am having is with mounting the 91-96 style driving lights into
my 85 fron impact absorber bar. Either I am missing a part for the
fog light to latch into or I need the 91-96 impact absorber.

If you have done this conversion, I would appreciate it if you
could post your response.

Thanks

Chris

YOu either have to get the impact absorber or modify yours to accomodate
the newer style lights.

Thanks for the reply. The new style fog lights have the hinge side (inboard)
and then a latch type side (outboard). I can't figure out how the outboard
latch works. There is nothing to latch it too?

The old style had a plate and screws went in thru the back side of the
inpact absorber bar.

Thanks

Chris
