Crx and hatch only. ef headlights will not fit unless you do a front end swap lol. You own a ed not a ef.

And make sure you get them from a 90/91 or it will not work.

I've seen this question posted a lot lately...

ALL 1988-1991 HEADLIGHTS WORK.
CRX, Hatchback, Sedan. Just SWAP the brackets out. They ALL work. They are the EXACT same... Just the brackets have to be swapped.
I have sedan headlights on my CRX right now, because someone decided to break them...

Interesting but no. crx and sedan's are different part numbers and not just the buckets. It might work but its gonna look trashy.

the crx hf that i bought was a 90, and it was wrecked in the front end. i pulled a complete front end off of an 88-89 crx and they worked.

just keep in mind the corners are different between 88-89 and 90-91, so you would have to change the whole bracket if you went to a different year.

but the bracket is very simple to take out once the bumper is off.

the hatchs do use the same lights as well, with the same difference between the years. i have a set sitting up in my garage as spares.

The headlights are interchangeable. They're indistinguishable from each other.

As long as they're USDM lights on a USDM car.

Thats odd then why does honda have different part numbers showing for them? I'm just wondering why. I'm not trying to doubt any one at all. Just out of my mind wondering.

Ha I just looked it up I'm an idiot I looked at the part numbers for the whole housing not just the headlight it self. Sorry guys. So yes according to honda part numbers any 88-91 headlight will work. Just the glass it self do not use the buckets because thats were they get different.

So my headlights are no longer trashy I guess.
Pretty much the only difference is the moisture trap on the headlight itself, for 88-89 and 90-91. 88-89 are sealed. 90-91 have a tube system, to let moisture out, so they don't fog up.
