They're easy to do. Read up on the tutorials around here. I did mine the 1st time and they turned out perfect.

Here's the thread I used -> https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ed+tail+lights

I didn't use epoxy though. I just reheated the housing when I was ready to put the lens back on and the original glue was still there and made a tight seal.


Oven = 300

Took out all screws and the foam strip (used gorilla glue to put foam back after modernize).

Put tail on pizza pan (the screws touching the pan, not the plastic).

5 minutes and checked them (left in for 10 though).

Took them out and pulled them apart very slowly/carefully.

After the insert was out I put the main part of the tail back in the oven for about 5-10 minutes @ 300 again.

Pulled it out and carefully pressed the lens back to the main part of the tail.


I'm no pro. But my tails look perfect to me.

i would do it myself but i dont want to mess up haha.. i rather let someone else who knows what they are doing do it for me or atleast be there to help me...



or is anyone down to trade their mondernized s5 tails lights for my stock ones.. mine are in perfect conditon no cracks no scratches or heat marks..... that way they can just do it again haha

if you where local and i had time, i could help you LED pimp em =)
sadly i dont have the time, but more than free to give you advice/tips, something you could do while you have the tails apart anyways, as long as your good with soldering.
