I want to replace the rear light clusters on my Griffith,at the moment they are fully black tinted items,I have tried to glean some info/numbers off them but to no avail so I ask for you help please.

I know they are cavalier but are they saloon or hatchback?
Also the ones fitted now have seperate bulb holders for each lamp,and the ones I have seen have one single lamp bracket with all the lampholders attached and a multi pin socket.

It would be easier to replace if the replacements had the seperate bulbholders and seperate wires to each as the ones that are fitted now.

Any help gratefully received smile

The ones with the full holder are MK3 Cavalier units (GSi are the smoked ones)... may be the individual holders will go in the holes on these units?... But your right... mine are the full clip ones but the bulbs do still go into their own holes (as you would expect)....

Sounds like you have aftermarket ones fitted GM??

In which case you just need to try and get the lampholders supplied with the clusters when you buy them.
But then it also sounds like someone has cut the plugs off the original car wiring.

You might be better going to a scrayard and trying to find the plugs and lampholders.

I have some spare lampholders you are welcome to, but no plugs.

Ahem, yes those ones, bare in mind that you have to grind them a bit to fit.
