Well I got the front end on and I need some help with the lights. There are 3 lights on each side. 2 are big and 1 is small. The small one and 1 big one blinks when I turn the turn signal on. The other big one does nothing. So where do they go? I don't see where the small one goes? This is for the 81

You should have one park/turn signal light(1157 bulb) for the front lens assy, and one 1157 on the side for the turn sig/park lights. Also on the side, there should be one small, push-in type bulb for the "turn illumination" lights on the side...this one should light up to show the way around the turn, with the turns signal on, and the headlights on.
I think this is what is on the front of the '80-'82 cars....someone else may know for sure.

The lg. blinking bulb goes to the front lens and the sml. goes to the side. the lg. bulb that doesn't blink does the side illumination in the lower lrg compartment.
