Does anybody know if the clear bumper lights form the 88-89 accord will work on the 86-87?.

You could always do a bumper swap and get clears that way.

How hard is it to do a bumper swap? Is it just bolt on?

Shouldn't be much trouble. I've been meaning to do it myself.

Or just get some plex glass at the local home improvement store and make your own.

Yea i could make them but i just have to make some rubber spacers and then they wil look good. If you notice when you take the stock ones out there like a dome shape.

I have some plexiglass ones I made, that I don't want anymore. If I still have them you can buy them off me for a few bucks plus shipping.

In order for them to not leak, you gotta use a sealant since the housing is dome shaped. I never got aroudn to doing it, but many on this board have done it.

Figured i would let you guys know i spent the $35 for the procarparts ones and they are worth it. I have made them before and just figured i was gonna buy new OEM ones anyway so why not just get the clears so i dont have to cut up the new ones.
