Yea man, theres 90-91 black corners. Look on ebay, theres a few (not right now actually) but usually theres a couple up for sale. Good luck.

I believe that they will fit fine but you need to switch the brackets and use the ones for the 90-91 that are already on your car....
Hope this helps

do you mean the mounting bracket on the back of the corner lights i got now? Dayum u CRX guys are lucky to have those clear JDM black corners!

Yeah you just have to swap the brackets from the ones you have know. Im pretty sure it will work. It worked for my friend.

im guessing it would be a bitch to take off the backing of a corner light?!?! they seem fused together, but hey im willing to try it... couldn't hurt

Just use a Black transparent paint from a hobby store on some clear corners. I bought mine for like $12, I can't remember where. They have some on Speedpeople.com for $15 though.

anybody try to use crx corners on there civi? i could use some opinions on what to do, i got jdm black projectors and i need suttin to kinda look good with it other then clear corners. thanks

Clear Corners Tinted Black!

It's amazing what you'll find if you do a search...

CZ-R, I appreciate ur help. I got the same projectors u have with blue ION projector. I juss got um off ebay the other day so they should be arriving soon. Your corner lights turned out great. I dont have a dremel tool nor do i wanna destroy the lenses by boiling um.. got any other ideas? and once i get the lenses off juss using fine grit sand paper and then painting the inner housing glossy black would be a ok plan? thanks alot again for ur help

i put CRX corners on my hatch. its a lot of work, but mostly bolt on. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100654

Yeah, but... You also had to replace the fenders. Why do that just to be able to buy the black corners?

And yes, I did my lenses with a dremel (worth every penny - get one :iceslolan ). I just used a cut-off wheel & cut the lenses apart from the back side. Grid off all the 'chrome' inside the lense, paint black (I used gloss black - just because I thought it would reflect better). Oh, and I used black RTV to glue/seal the lenses back together.

As for the "JDM" amber lenses... I just used amber bulbs in my corners (after converting the corners to black) & at night they look just like the amber lenses... I'll have to take a pic...

why do all that just to have black corners? why do all the stuff you did to yours? same answer, to have something custom. also i didnt like the metal filler piece on the civic, the one between the headlights and the bumper. the CRX doesnt have one. also, maybe its just me, but the CRX fenders look like they flare out a little more. i figured if i was gonna go custom, i was gonna do it intensly, and also, i like the clear lens on my black corners, i dont like the lens on the stock style.

I frequent MANY forums, and this is the first place I saw black corners. So unless CZ-R got the idea somewhere else, I think he was the very first person to do it.

It's all good. I wasn't hatin', I just didn't see the sense in changing out your fenders just to put CRX corners on your h/b. Now I understand that the corners weren't the only reason you did the conversion... :thumbsup:

As for my corners...they only took a couple hours to do, and that's because I was taking my time so I didn't screw them up. My sole motivation was that I hated the way my clear corners looked with my black projectors & no one made/sold "JDM" (<--what a joke :disappoin ) black corners at the time. Same goes for my bumper lights...

I had never seen the black corners before I did it. Though I don't know if I was the first...well...I was the first/only person to do it in my area. I wanted to be different as well as make my front end look a little cleaner. :biggrin:

yeah man, another reason was, both the fenders on my car were smashed when i bought it, so i figured i would go completely custom, and now there isnt a single body panel on my car that hasnt been changed in some way. and i dont mean overdone stuff like many other "custom" cars, i just mean shaving and bodykit molding, along with subtle conversions like prelude taillights and the CRX frontend.

You can add me to the list of people that can't wait to see it finished :iceslolan

thanks, guys like you make me motivated to actually finish it. otherwise i would procrastinate.
