The Buick Limited is the only Regal to have the front lower cornering lights.
This is a rare option, as not all Limited Regals received these lights.
The Stock OEM light is a white bulb behind a clear lens.
When the turn signal is applied, this light comes on.
.
If you’ve been following along in this series, you already know we are showing you all of the lights using a 1986 Buick Regal T-type with the WH1 package as the example vehicle.
Meaning this particular G-body Regal does not have these front lower cornering lights.
.
Good thing a fellow Buick Regal Limited owner was gracious enough to send us a couple photos of the lights as well as the socket and OEM bulb.
[ I forgot to write his name down, but thank you sir! ]

We recently (Oct 2023) saw someone selling this complete setup for the front fender lower cornering lights for a 1987 Buick Regal Limited.
(for $750! which may seem like a lot, but this IS a very rare part! and we don’t think we’ve seen anything near this complete for sale before, ever…)
It’s not often you get to see a setup like this “out of the car” – so we’re posting it for reference purposes for you guys!
