      Correct.

      86-88 had the old style and 89+ had the more "flush" looking style.

        Someone changed my 87 over to the newer style. Kind of glad. I dont like 3ed brake lights in the first place, but it looked so much better then the 3rd eye just sticking up back there.

            89, I concur. More sleek appearance.
