They won't just bolt on. You would need to swap the headlight frames with ones from a 90-91, and get the special clips that attach the corner lights to the fenders where the 88-89 screws go in the side.

can't you just buy ones meant for 88-89? I'm sure you can find amber or clear for that model year

Becarefull when u buy corner lights off ebay, these are 88-89 corner lights with the screws, these were originaly for his 89 hatch when he orderd them it said 3 dr and they gave him 4 door ones and we returned them and exchanged and got the same damn one so i took them and broke my inserts to make them fit my 91 civic since they are for the 4 door. And again we orderd from a different seller and guess what the same exact package design and again they exchanged it and got the same **** so if anyone needs 88-89 civic sedan amber corners pm me

Amber lenses with the screw holes suck. Go Stanley clears.

wat i did on my 89 is chop off a tad bit on the fender to get it to slide through. i have 90 headlights too though, so it screwed right in and it holods fine. its not completely flush but it looks good to me. you can use it just put a little imagination into it and it'll be fine

You don't have to cut anything if you've already got the 90-91 headlights. All you need are four plastic clips (#22) from the 90-91 to stick in the screw holes in the fender. The clips are $1.24 each from SLHOndaParts.com...

Personally, I like the stock ones. The clear ones normaly don't seem to be a faded as the headlights are which looks a bit funny.

I feel it's not wise to ask people that you don't personally know & see on a regular basis what will look good on your car. You shouldn't really value a "community" opinion so much. If you cannot decide what you like better, then don't buy any. Then you won't risk being stuck in a "trend". Besides, your money is much better spent on something you KNOW you want (or just invest it )...
