Huh, that is odd cause I have a 1991 CRX and I have 88 tail lights on mine. They just fell right in. They must have made your car different than everyone elses.

You should have no problems putting those on, i got an 89 dx and i put on 91 si's, just bolted right up. If they look smaller it might just be the design, the 90-91's have a thick black border around them giving it a thinner look. good luck.

They are interchangeable. No modifications required.

I have an 88' crx Si, when I swapped in tailights from a 91, I had to use the plugs from the 91'.

Mines an 89, they fit right in also, but yes, needed the 90-91 style plugs. Maybe your car was in a previous accident, so parts don't fit properly.

My friend has an 88 HF with 90-91 tail light, so it should fit without any problem.

yep 91 tails fit onto 88-89 cars. There was something weird about the wiring.

I cant remember if i used the 88 harness but swapped sides or used the 91 and swapped sides... o well, im pretty sure i had to swap right to left and left to right for some reason.
