The black trim is, I thnk, for turbo models. I get what ever I can based on price. Chrome can be made black using vinyl electrical tape carefully applied and trimmed. Just as long as they match.

In 1986 Volvo changed the rear light system. Upper level brake light added. In the lower level tail light, the lower outer changed from a marker light only to a marker and brake light. Different bulb and holder, different circuit board, different cuts in the holder key slots in RH side. The upper inner which had been a brake light changed to a rear fog light with a dash switch.

The lower outers are different right to left side. The RH is such that making a pre-1986 body work, even with the correct circuit board, is a PITA. BTDT

The LH side, however, can be switched. Correct circuit board and carve off two board locating pins. CAVEAT: The lower outer bulb holders are color coded, use white on the right or weird electrical things result.

Good Luck,

Bob
