Randon Tail Light question

[diamondbodega]

I have a 90 Integra LS. As posted in my first post I just picked this car up and the douche that had it before me ghetto rigged it beyond belief. As I was checking the tail lights I noticed that the driver side tail light does not completely fit properly. The tail light bolts line up with the frame but the section where it curves around into the quarter panel area is short. Between the edge of the tail light housing and the frame of the car is about a inch gap causing water to come into the trunk. I just wanna make sure that all the 90-93 tail lights are the same. Can it be that the douche used a sedan instead of a coupe? This is the first DA, I have had so I dont know what fits with what. I am used to mixing parts in civics.

pictures? its kind of hard to imagine...

The sedan tail lights will not fit at all without modifications, So I think you can rule that out... Most likely, the tail light is broken or the car was previously in a accident but it's hard to tell without seeing it.

I measured the tail light for the driver and pass and they both equal same length. The housing is not damaged. Thats y I wanted to see cause I was also thinking it could be some type of frame repair that didnt get fixed right. Does it make a diffrence if the tail lights came off a 90-91 or a 92-93 year or do they fit

for the 2 Doors the 90-91 tail lights are the same dimensions as the 92-93, The only difference is just the way they look. fitment is the same... Unless something is broken behind the tail light then it is most likely some structural damage to the car... Take off the tail light and check for any previous work or abnormal bends.

It's I think 6 8mm or 10mm bolts behind the plastic paneling in the trunk.

It could just be that the guy used aftermarket foam instead of the factory gasket and didn't torque it down like you do on an engine head.

Thanks I found the problem. The dude before me used aftermarket foam and didnt do it right. Thanks

Sedan's are different between 90-91 and 92-93. I have a set of 50/50 2 door tails for sell and a set of orange corner 92-93 sedan tails. $50 shipped for either
