HELP guys! I've been googling this topic all night, but how do I successfully make 90-91 CRX corner light work on my 89? Some folks say swap out headlight brackets but I have USDM headlight brackets and I'm not sure they'll work with the JDM headlights I have.

Use the jdm headlights with 90-91 plastic fender inserts. The go where the screws of the 88 corner lamps are on the fender

Some stuff that I've been collecting over the years and kinda give you and idea on what the exterior of the EF "hatchback" gonna look like. I know what you guys are thinking. Its a J's bumper for the CRX. I'm going to try to make this work. Worst case scenario it doesn't look good. Move on a try some thing different. Complete authentic J's racing hood, fenders, bumper, GT wing, S-Tai LED lights.

j's racing s-tai led lights.

I never realized 90-91 lights would work on an 88.. would be nice to get rid of those screws showing. Please share if you ever do find a link.

I just dont think they really put any time into it.. it was a long ways away from fitting in my crx.. had to do a lot of cutting and trimming and welding to make it feel like something worthy. And im still not totally comfortable with it. Only thing I honestly regret purchasing for my car.. hush at least has videos and seems like they give a hoot. Suja is still selling there bracket after all the bad reviews.
Probably should have sent it back right when I realized it didnt fit. Oh well, live and learn.

Boosted, I believe those little j's lights are sort of like a daylight or city light.. usually mounted in the front grill area. I would love to hear a real story on them if someone knows!

Not a east/west coast thing. Just call up Yasu at J's Racing USA and you can order the bumper, flares, and wing. May cost you $4,000, but you can order it.

Why do you need hubcentric rings? Like Adam, I've put countless track miles on my car without hubcentric rings or hubcentric spacers.

Just like Hotsauce stated. The led lights are pretty much "city lights" in my eyes but are pretty bright during the day. J's racing primarily used them on the circuit. J's Racing Super LED lights can be fitted to the front bumper for added visibility of your car for other drivers track/street. For most people its pretty rice. lol but I don't mind. Just one of those things that caught my eye and had to have.

Thanks Dan. There is a little advantage on being on the west cost. We get first dibs inside the containers for super rare parts. lol But just because your 3,000 miles on the other side of the states doesnt mean that we cant share the wealth. Its pretty much who you know bOss. Just say the word and I can make magic happen. I will be very happy to help you find any of your rare commodity parts for your needs. Just say the word guys.

Nick nailed on the head too. Its not a west/east coast thing at all. Just need to surround your self with the right people. YASU is most def good peoples and very humble person. Very kind and respectful. Super legit.

Very true.. Not that I really knew I could just call Yasu! but when needed Ill be sure to come hollering! Shipping to the East Coast still gives you fellas that little advantage!

There really isnt much of a scene around my area..a lot of ricers, part-time enthusiasts, Only thing LI has to show for imports is Chris Miller.. and his attitude sucks. A lot of times I feel stuck on an island! closest track is over a bridge in another state. Im not into street racing (I love my car too much).. not enough space for a road race track. Im sure every area has its ups and downs though.. /rant. sorry/.

Hahhaa, fair enough! as I said every area has its ups and down.. Im not sure I could deal with the cali emissions coming from NY. Have a buddy that just moved to canada with his wife.. he loves it! but he couldn't care less about cars!

Looks like you have a track near you at least?

If you were reffering to me, i live just outside of toronto and we have about 5 road courses within 5 hours or so from where i live. Were pretty blessed in that sense.

Speaking of tracking i just bought a 6 point bolt in cage for my ef. Stripped my interior and i may have to get rid of my sunroof to make room for the main hoop (tight fit) My car went from a street car to a mild race car in 24 hours. It was sad to see my interior go i didnt really want to do that. Only problem wit the cage is that i dont like how the A pillar bars are designed. They dont hug the dash as much as i'd like. Kinda worried about driving this thing on the road now with a roll cage. The bars are pretty close to my head. Hoping bucket seats and harnesses will make me feel a bit safer.
