The car's front end is straight, the corners lined up fine when I replaced them.

But now there is a 1/4" gap between each corner and the headlights. It totally ***** up the look of the front end for me.

This is on a sedan but I think all 90-91 use just the one screw to hold them in place.....is this due to cheap Ebay crap?

This pic angle doesn't really show what I mean but it's hideous from the other side

 

Man, thats nothing compared to what i have.....

I'll post pics in a minute (visit my car first)

 

I'de like to know to.. When I got my crx the driver side headlight was already sunk in about 1 and a half inches behind the corner..then I got "aftermarket corners" and the gap is worse..I even tried using washers to push my headlight up further.. I think that's just cheaply made aftermarket crap for you..

 

these are my gaps, thats th best i can get them. I played around with them for about an hour yesterday!

 

^ That's virgin-tight compared to my car

but are those 88-89??

 

Yeah mine are 88-89

 

MIne are worse than that. I hate the aftermarket crap. And since there are no stores close by I have to buy online and that makes it a pain to send stuff back.

 

I have slighty poor fitment of my aftermarket clears, but I believe the larger of the two problems is the headlights sinking into their brackets after about 16+ odd years of road use. Also, don't forget the possibility that your car may have been in a minor "unrecorded" fender-bender a few years back resulting in overall poor fitment.

After replacing my passenger's side headlight with a depot unit, everything seemed to line up much better than OEM. Well, that and my passengers side headlight was no longer as sunken in as before .

 

Aftermarket corners just suck for fitment, my car came with clears on it, I hate them, i manages to get them ti sit almost perfect, had to shave some onf the plastic off the back to get them into the slide clips and hold them where they are supposed to be

 

mine suck big time.i got the clips for the cornor lights there like 1 something a peice a within a week i lost them all off the car.im going back the the stock ones.im sure they fit alot better.them pics look good compared to me.

mine are clear ones.90-91

 

You don't put washers on your headlights! The headlights have an adjustment screw. You may need to have your headlights adjusted.

Mine line up like *** on my 90 Si, but I just repaired it from a front end accident, so it's no surprise. Honda makes shitty *** front turn signal mounts. My EGs don't line up either!

 

mine did fit crappy and then i took baby washers and played with mine and zip tied the back down that way it cant move. Usually aftermark 90-91 are a pain!

 

I have oem clear corners with zc headlights and they line up like ****. You can't really tell from far away but up close they look crappy. This is all oem stuff too, so don't sweat it.

 

oh yeah, by the way. the best way to get them to butt up against the headlights is to use shoe laces. drill a small hole in the mount area on the corner and lace a shoe lace through there. then tie it down and tighten them up against the head light. it will take some playing with to find where is best to tie down. and yes it sounds ghetto but it works and you can tuck the laces well enough that you would never know they were there.

so i have to adjust the headlights right to make the cornor lights fit like they should?(dumnb question i know)i never said i put washer on there my headlights or cornors.

 

i just got these today, but im 75% sure that its the headlights fault. so ima go get sum new ones today to see if im correct.
the gap is on the top

 

Definitely notice a huge gap with aftermarket vs. OEM, always have no matter what brand.

 

bonestock91 you can clearly see that your headlight needs to be pushed across to the right..... try that maybe..

In Aus we have screwes on the side of the corner lights, help make them sit in a bit more but still sh*t fit

 

so u suggest taking the headlight off and reinstalling it correctly?

 

Yeah i have oem and it fits fine, i wouldnt say perfect but sure close

exactly!!! if it was in an accident and the fender got replaced, then it could be a bad/cheap aftermarket fender. but other than that, i've had both 90 n 91 w/aftermarket corners from different makers w/no problems.

 

My clears corners fit perfectly on my 91 si. I'll post pics later, when I get home.

 

Stockers fit worse then aftermarket in my case.

A bad design for fitment in my opinion.

 

I could probably count on 1 hand how many corner lights I seen line up a ef hatch straight.

 

&lt;-----mind fit realy good, and my buddy's amber corners on his cb7 accord fit better than his stockers too
