ones for a four eye and ones for a 87 to 93 big difference the one without the headlight brakets will fit 79 to 86 the other is the 87 to 93 howwever you can use the new one on older car but not the old one on a newer car

if you are looking into buying one of them, go with factory over aftermarket. factory is a guaranteed fit

most likely you can, aftermarket bumbers are almost always made to mimic OEM and to allow the use of OEM parts

No they are not.The first one is 79-86,The second one is 87-93.Big difference.79-86 has 4 headlights(hence 4-eyes)And the 87-93 has 6 peice headlights.

actually they are both 87-93 models the stock one just has the headlight brackets and the aftermarket one dont. i guess a more appropriate question would be are the aftermarket bumpers a direct bolt on replacement of the stock ones and if so can i use my stock headlight brackets for the aftermarket one?
