Grilles differ between Early (round headlight) car and Late (square headlight) B310. Japan cars had (optional) Fog Lights in the grille, while North American cars had the turn signals in the grille.

Overview

Round-eye 1977-1979 Square-eye 1979-1982

The facelift occurred 1979 October (Japan market) and 1979 December (North America).

Round-eye 1979 to 1980-1/2 Model year Square-eye 1980-1/2 to 1982

The facelift occurred with 1979 December manufacture, two months after the JDM facelift. However it took several months before these cars showed up at dealers for sale.

North American parking/TS lights are in the grille instead of the bumper -- unlike every other market.

Round Headlight

All early USA and Canada B310 models used the A12-style grille with all engine sizes (A12A, A14 and A15). Sedan, Coupe, Wagon -- all used the sedan grille. For this market, early means the 1979 model year and part of the 1980 model year.

Worldwide RHD Market

B310 is worldwide market used the same grilles as the Japan market. The main difference is that VB310 used a rectangular grille when the Sedan, Coupe and WB310 switched to it.
