I also think they are the same, but if you need one, I've got one. Check into it first. Remember, you will have to grind down an area near the back up lights I think to make the new ones fit. I believe it is a very minor area to grind down.

Sheesh, I don't know, how about $10 and you cover the $4.00 in shipping priority with delivery confirmation.
On another note, as a sort of comparison, my mother recently got a quote on European lamps with center piece for $300 not including shipping and these are new from the dealer. The European ones are different in that they have a rear foglamp in the driver's side back up light location and the center piece looks different due to the wide and narrow plate they have. I have the foglamp driver's side in my car. Looks unique.

Huh, I could've swore that they would fit right in with little to no modification of the center area. Oh well, wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something.

The 89-91 center piece has no plastic over the top. Looking at the side picture the 89-91 being an L and the 86-88 being a [ . You have to grind down just a little bit on the sides of the earlier center piece to get it to fit. I also have a set for sale for 200.00 obo w/o center piece. Later
