88-89 jdm have the same headlights as usdm

90-91 ef6, ef7, ef8 all have the same front, the headlights are different as the are slightly longer. ie the bonnet bit is narrower in the middle

All jdm lights are plastic.

UKDM Lights are Glass

"ZC" 16V headlight. Single beam/single bulb. Fits USDM


VT headlight. Same as SiR, only H4 and glass.


OK, it's not a fair comparison, because the top ones are single beam too.
But they are the same shape as a USDM set and will bolt right in.

My headlights that I posted are glass, and they use a regular H4 bulb.
They'll bolt in without any body modding. You might need to rewire a little, but the plugs etc are included.

Sorry for being jackass. But CRX's were never made at 1992. So its just 1991 model registered in 1992. Someone can get confused.

Nice color tho.

From the JDM catalogs I have seen, the CRX was made from 88-92 everywhere but the USA.

I'm 80% sure that the chassis code never had S4 in the line. I've never heard that they have been produced in the 1992. Look at your VIN tags, there certainly doesent read JHMEF8XXXXS4(!)XXXX.

Twilight is right.
They were produced up to 1991. All the so called 1992 ones have been sitting in storage or in a showroom for a while until they were registered.

Just check out the VIN#. You'll see it's -registered- and not -built- in that year.
Still tho. Means less miles and less weathering if it's sitting in a showroom.

Yeah. REGISTERED, but never made at that year. Like my friend SETI20 said, they have been storaged till 1992. Check for your VIN tag, no S4 in the line.

Glass ones come from Europe, plastic ones come from Japan.

The ones I posted are glass.

Unless youmean the headlights that have the corners integrated. These are usually from the sedan sold mainly in Japan.
