they all bolt up but only difference would be is that 88-89 hatch has one brake bulb and 90-91 has 2 brake bump. and i guess the color of the lense is also different for the turn and reverse light. lolz.

Necrobump, wanting to see pics of the older and newer tails because I think I have one of each on my car. Pics above are broken links.

I believe so, but I don't know which one belongs to what year, hoping someone posts a comparison pic.

I meant photos of USDM 88-89 and 90-91. I think I have one of each on my car, the one I don't like also happens to be the broken one that needs to be replaced.

i believe the 88-89 have the blinkers on the corner and the 90-91 have it going across the top of the light sorta...i have a 91 sedan and a 89 hatch. and i think also buddy up above is right with the bulbs they're different i think

Still need to know which tail lights I have, since they are obviously not from the same year(s).

Awesome, thanks. The 90-91 is broken and needs to be replaced, which works for me because I like the 88-89 a little more. Just didn't know which one was from what year until now.

rather than bumping an 8 year old thread, why don't you try creating a new one in the for sale section?
Also, these parts are not rare. have you tried local scrap yards, craigslist of yours and other cities, apps like offer up and 5 mile?
