Default Need help with Front side markets

I've seen then listed as 84-90 but mainly as 84-87 and 88-90 for the front side markers, like certain catalogs give the two sets of years different parts numbers, they look the same though. Can anyone tell me if I can use a 88-90 one on my 86, because I honestly dint see a different in them unless you can tell me.
Thanks!

Considering the bumpers didn't change, you KNOW anything from 84-90 will fit. Because part numbers are different, I suspect there's a slight cosmetic difference that would be more noticable to the NCRS guys.

Looking at a couple pics on eBay vs my 89, I can't' say I notice the difference either.

So there's no way a 88-90 will fit my 86? =\ that sucks, it's the light socket that is changed, by how much? And also, I only need the passenger front side marker, mines cracked and all my others are mint non faded original ones that look brand new, that's why I'm combing eBay because I don't want to buy a set

The 86 side marker light is bigger / longer than 88 -90. I purchased a used 88 for my 86, found out there is a size different.
