hey everyone im new to the forums and pretty new to rx7's i own a s5 FC. the previous owner put in s4 tailights and i was wanting to swap back to s5's. could i do this without any problem or did he do something to make the s4's fit.

thanks,

EThan

No. just swap them back

drftk1d 05-17-2005 01:53 PM

wow, who does reverse conversions?

nismo convert 05-17-2005 02:01 PM

needed 300 bucks for something else?

ColinRX7 05-17-2005 02:13 PM

They just switch back



S5 taillights are expensive for some reason, people are known to trade for S4s so they can get a payout for S5 taillights





Kinda dumb if you ask me but people do it

The taillights switch back and forth but the license plate center section is different from S4 to S5.

maybe the guy broke his s5 lights and went with the first thing he could get reasonable



s5 lights 'aint all that

how'd they do that? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683591.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683572.gif

drftk1d 05-18-2005 02:40 PM

i think the lenses were removed or something. the taillights had to be taken apart.

Rob x-7 05-18-2005 06:05 PM

those look a bit goofy if you ask me,like trailer lights

meh, i like the lenses better... id think you'd get wierd reflections and stuff from an angle with the ones shown above, since there is really nothing to disperse the light, it just reflects off the curved mirror behind

nismo convert 05-19-2005 09:29 AM

personally i hate the s5 durring the day! but at night they are cool, but who cares, my s4's light up what does it matter.

donhayes 05-20-2005 04:44 PM

its all a big lie that you need the center plate too. The lights i got came with another s4 plate holder. So i modified it. All you have to do is some test fiting and cutting. It looks great once finished. BUt that is just me and my modifying self.

teknics 05-20-2005 05:36 PM

those "modified" s5 lenses will completely blind the **** out of people behind you.



its like asking to be rear-ended.

Hmm, I was thinking of doing this myself, (removing the inside taillight lining) but that is definitely a safety issue. Some spray can tint **** might help tho.



To tell you the truth I like the S4 square tail lights slightly better than the S5. It's what differentiates the S4 from the S5. That and the moldings/bumpers.
