IIRC, most of the lights and such fit from 90-91 HB and CRX models, but certain things may be different, such as Si lights or certain things that are supposed to be "upgrades" from other models.

The other thing to pay attention to is that your headlights match the year of your fenders, else you'll need the corner lenses that match your headlight brackets. The difference between 88-89 and 90-91 corner lenses is whether or not the screws are showing. The fenders are stamped the same, IIRC, and you either have to add or remove a couple plastic nuts, depending on what combination you're using.

Sedan parts just don't work, FTMP. Forget 'em.
