Default taillight swap?

Hey I wanted to put nsx.....errrr ha joking But I have an 89 crx si and I was wondering if the tailights from 90-91's are a direct fit? My stock tails have cracks in them and I think the 90-91's look much better. Thanks

They will bolt right up.

From what I remember you will have to swap the light harnesses though. It's easy. Just look at both of the wiring on both sets of lights and you should be able to figure it out.

I did it on my 88 Rex and it was no big deal. While you have the lights off you might want to try making some new gaskets or applying some silicone caulking to make a better seal so no water gets in your spare tire area.
