'82 Brat center light question

[clunkerbob]

My '82 Brat GL has no grill door piece over the center light . I dont see any sign of it ever having one either , that , or somebody did a good job of removing it completely .

 

Was that grill door an optional thing or just certain years had it ?

Pretty sure on the 82 it was standard on GL

It was an option, till '83 I think. Someone will correct me if Im wrong on the last year it was available, but it came on 4x4 GL's. Someone may have changed the grill out and removed it, your car is a DL, or it just didnt come with that option.

only the 82 BRAT had it, last year was 82. it was available on other models 1980, 1981, and the Brat 1982

 

I bought a 82 parts BRAT soley so i could use its Cyclops to install in my 85.

Love it.

All of the centerlamps had a door/cover over them, but being plastic, were subject to breaking... and a lot of times, the wires to the motor went bad or had issues with the solder joint, so it may have just been taken off at that point. there only 2 screws that hold it to some little side arms. I'm guessing the arms are still there on the sides, but not visible...
