I picked up my new '90 GXL taillights today, courtesy of RX7CMS. They look good and now I've got one more thing to confuse anybody trying to figure out exactly what type of Rx7 mine is, lol.

I popped the old one out. The two bolts closest to the side of the car(for the blinker) are the hardest to get to. All the nuts are 10mm.

There it is. Took about 45 minutes to get it to fit how I want. You'll need to use the S5 rubber gaskets as they are different from the S4s.

Back shot, sorry its dark, it was getting late. The only thing you'll need to do when doing the conversion, is shave off the plastic edge and metal bracket on the license plate holder..the S5 lights slide over about 3/4" more then the S4s..

Hey, don't worry...they'll be put to good use. I figure if all anybodys gonna see is taillights, they better look good

Here's a night shot to show off the nice circles. I do have a burnt bulb though, and I still haven't fixed my brakelights...dunno why they dont work.
