Not exactly pics directly of the braket itself, but you can see it in these pics of my trans cooler install. Held on by three bolts.

If my suspicions are right...Badnit is going to need both brackets. They will both be needed to complete the swap. And I think the fender curve is a little different for the corner light.

IM going to use my current Corner lens, and put the 96-99 head lights in, I did a test fit int he yard with Geoff, it fits ![Smile](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The Head lights when you buy them new like i am, come with the bracket thats on the headlight as seen in Bobs pic
the metal peace thats on the car still is what i need, or what i need to make

Ryan the way that the 96-99 HL is made....it has to have the corner light area on the bracket....that is where it gets it support...as you can see there is only 2 mounts, closest to the Rad...the other mount is where the HL bracket fits into the Fender....you simply cant cut off the Corner light part of the bracket....it will not work
and also the 92-95 corners donot match the 96-99 HL, there is a large difference between the 2
test fit all you want, but making it happen is a different story
