Default I have two sets of unidentified stock taillights, help figure out they go on what car!

Hey guys.. this is kinda embarassing, but I've been searching tons of pics to identify these tail lights. I have 2 sets of tail lights and trying to figure out they go on which car in order to be able to sell them and not sell the wrong type to someone. So, here's the first set:



and here's the second set




Any and all help is appreciated!

Looks like the first set is off the 90-91 Civic hatchback and the second set is off a 88-89 civic hatchback. They can be interchanged.

excellent news, you pretty sure about that? It looks like one is slightly longer then the other... but they still bolt on?

Thanks for the help, appreciate it

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by fourthgenhatchB17 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Looks like the first set is off the 90-91 Civic hatchback and the second set is off a 88-89 civic hatchback.

I second this.

I've switched the taillights on my 91 ef to those of an 89. Those look like them.
The top ones are off a 90-91 because the amber corner isn't visible until lit up. The brake light should house 2 bulbs. The reverse light section reaches from top to bottom.

The bottom ones are off a 88-89 because you can see the amber corner at all times. The brake light should house 1 bulb. The reverse light section has a small border of red all the way around it.

nope, the special edition was available in canada.. so they're most likely off a canadian SE.

and like people have already mentioned.
top ones = 90-91
bottom ones = 88-89
