if you see people with 92-93 sedans and 90-91 front bumpers, it usually means they did either a trunk swap to a 92-93 sedan trunk, or a front end swap to a 90-91 front. check this thread out. it explains and shows the differences between the years.

as far as the fog light question, i think you need to get fogs that came from a 90-91 if you want the best fitment. of course the others will probably fit too with a small amount of modification.

You either get 90-91 fogs or get a 92-93 bumper. They are all the same.

[AccordWarrior]

Fogs were a dealer option in all years.

As it's been said, you can source a set of OEM 90-91 fogs for your existing bumper, or you can swap to a 92-93.

Now, you can actually still source the 90-91 fogs at a dealer, but you will pay probably around $200 for them. You cannot get the 92-93 fogs at the dealer anymore. However, you can order aftermarket 92-93 replica fog lights online, most notably at www.procarparts.com

You other option would be to find a used set. Just be aware that with a used set, you're more likely to only get the fog lights and brackets, and not the wiring or switch, which you'd have to source separately. The wiring can be found at any parts store, but you'll have to spend some time wiring up the switch, as it won't be plug and play.

There's also the JDM vs USDM fog debate. The JDM fog lights have curved lenses, which IMO is much more noticeable on the 90-91 models than the 92-93 models.

On the 90-91 models, the USDM housing is flat, and sits under/behind the bumper lights. On the JDM housing, the lamp actually curves to meet the bumper light. The 92-93 models have the same feature, but honestly I don't feel it's worth the extra money as you really can't tell.

Also be aware that if you want to convert the front end to the 92-93 bumper, the headlights aren't going to sit exactly right. I run a 92-93 bumper in the winter, and there's a slight gap, as the 92-93 headlights were more aero than the 90-91 pieces, which were more flat. It's only really noticeable up close, but I think if I was running the bumper year round, I would swap to the 92-93 headlights.

Hope that helps a little.

EDIT: The reason you see a lot of sedans/coupes with the 92-93 trunk lid is that it's a very common swap. The red/clears that look like the 99-00 Civic Si tails only fit the 92-93 sedan trunk lid, so people swap to be able to use those. I've personally swapped to the newer trunklid, as I didn't like how the 90-91 red/clears looked when I had them.

I have a 91 cb9 bumper i jus got a legend lip for it. but As far as the fogs GO, i dont think the 90-91 cb9 fogs are the same as the cb7s?

[1990LXaccord]

whats cb7 and cb9

im gathering my 1990 lx is a cb9? and 92-93 is cb7??? anyone can answer
my question scroll up to my last thread about cutting 92-93 bumper

[F20A CB7]

cb7/cb9 are chassis codes. cb7 is 90-93 sedan/coupes
cb9 is wagon 90-93
now the 90-91 92-93 sedans and coupes are diff, so r the bumpers from 90-91 92-93 cb9(wagon)

and so are the bumper lights. I would like to get the cb9 amber lights. dj-CAZ or something like that has it on his. and has the fogs also. but i dunno if the fogs are for a wagon they might b off the sedans/coupes

[1990LXaccord]

You don't need the support, only the cover. Just be aware you're going to have issues lining up the grill and headlights with the 92-93 cover and 90-91 headlights/corners/grill. It's not really as bad as people make it out to be, but it won't be perfect.

On most OEM bumpers, there's a pattern on the inside of the bumper that you can follow to cut it for fogs.

As far as I've seen, they never made USDM fogs to fit a wagon bumper, as they were different than the sedan bumper in all years. There are JDM fogs available that will fit a wagon bumper, as their bracketry are different than the standard sedan fogs.

and so are the bumper lights. I would like to get the cb9 amber lights. dj-CAZ or something like that has it on his. and has the fogs also. but i dunno if the fogs are for a wagon they might b off the sedans/coupes

The 91 Wagon had an oddball bumper that didn't look much like the sedan bumper. The 92-93 wagon bumper, although different than the sedan bumper, was much similar in style overall compared to the 91. The fogs you see have been custom fit, and the bumperlights painted amber.

so where could we get the 90-91 fogs from the dealer is that any honda dealer

[AccordWarrior]

I think all dealers can be connected through the main parts network. I know my local dealer said they could still source a set.

Be prepared to pay for it though.

[SARCB7]

thats cool cuz it would probably cuz the same just paying for them insted of changing the front end to a 92-93 right??

[boostedef]

thanks I was looking into a set for my 91 and needed some info
