Which year fcs have the round rear taillights? is it a certain trim or what?

BigTurbo74 05-15-2004 02:46 PM

89-91 good luck

The S5's have the round ones. I think they look pretty cool, but not worth the modification really.



You can find them on ebay all the time. Good luck.

Authentic 05-15-2004 03:23 PM

so i can just swap them?



ok, now what does s5 mean?

Lionheart240 05-15-2004 03:32 PM

S4 = Series 4 86-88



S5 = Series 5 89-91

You have to bang in the metal behind the taillights alittle to get the S5 to fit a S4.

S5 round's look a lot nicer than the blocky S4's.

??? i didnt have to bang nuffin when i swapd mine? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif perfect fit, btw vert tails r different then nonverts, if i remember right they are longer on verts. One of my friends got a good deal on a set of s5 tails off a vert and he found this out the hard way. my 2 cents - s5 tails are the ****, first thing i had to change on my s4

S5 tails on an S4...



nuff said



next step....S5 front-bumper w/ flash-to-pass lights & fog-lights. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Lionheart. You should get the FC2000 replica front bumper from rotaryextreme.com. That **** would look hot as fawk!! Has the HID sleek lights like FikserXSeven's FD. I wanna do that bumper, but is expensive body modification.



S5 tail lights do look hot. I like the S6 tails also. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I wanna do something custom though. Get some type of carbon fiber cut out, and have it say "You just got smoke by 1.3 Liters of Rotor Power Biotch!" when you hit the brakes. Or just have some cool design.



You can find some S5 tail lights at a junk yard maybe, but that'd be super rare. Like finding a complete engine.

I kinda like my S-4 Tailights. I have a set of S-5 taillights in the garage I can sell you I decided not to swap them out.



I like my S-4's too much.

i like the s4's on black cars like Jims and on Silver ones like my own. on mine it's a good contrast

NCTII87 05-18-2004 09:52 PM

this is true- i like the s4's better- i think they fit the car better. they look especially good on a black car.

BigTurbo74 05-18-2004 09:55 PM

jim, i agree, s4's are a bit dated but good condition ones don't look bad at all, ever think about getting those things smoked?

Nope!! My exhaust takes care of that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

THANK you Jim.



I know RX7 guys who won't drive their car unless they have S5 taillights. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



I love the S4s..
