oh yeah..guess i could offer something helpful here..i put 90-91 JDM tails on my car..they bolted right on, but due to the JDMness of them rewiring was necessary. i don't think this is the case for USDM lights.

I just did this conversion myself before CRXPO "02. They do fit, however you will need to swap over your existing socket wiring harness because the ones that come on the 91's do not fit, the plugs are different. So I just used the ones from my 89's. they do look a hell of a lot better.

maybe its because you were trying to put 90-91 tails on an 88-89 car?

Ok so lemme get this straight. I got an 89, im buying 91's off my homie. so if i install them, the light plugs from the 89 wont fit in the 91's? can i just modify it so it does fit? these are USDM lights by the way.

you'll have to pull the bulbs and wiring out of your 89 lights, then plug the bulb fixtures into the 91 lights.
