I'm looking for some aftermarket tail lights (prefferably blacked-out) for my '89 S5 and I can't find anything online. Do they even exist? Could someone point me in the right direction here? Thanks

 

I don't think anyone makes aftermarket tails for the FC. If you want blacked out, you're going to have to smoke them yourself. Also, try searching for "modernized tails."

 

That's what I was guessing... what would be the best way to do that?

 

Do what? Modernizing them?

Stick them in the oven, remove the diffuser, then re-seal them.

 

what would you do once you put the in the oven im sorry i want to do the same thing

 

Search for it. There are a few good guides on how to do it. But If u wanna smoke em your self, Id get either VHT nightshade, or some Testers model car window tint and some clear coat(for both of them). Then just tape off and spray, clear, then let em dry.

theres also these not really after market but ya http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-88...spagenameZWDVW

 

if you have about $800

 

eww them things are ugly.....

 

I haven't really been thinking about aftermarket tail lights, but I have recently seen some trucks have red LED lights under the tailgate, or above the cargo window. I was wondering how that would look if you surrounded the FC tail light with LEDs. I can't decide if that would be semi original or really dumb. Has anyone tried this? What do you think?

 

I have a set of blackout S5 tails in south mpls, infact I'll be up there in a week; PM if you want them..

 

Ah deff the easiest way to turn s4 tails into s5's. Nice find

 

just because it took a lot of time to make those...i wouldnt give you 800...hell, ud have to pay me to put them on my car...

 

Where did u get those?

 

look at the site at the bottom of the pic, i didn't get them i just saw them there. Its just the JDM S4 lights without the color panels basically.

 

I could make those for 10 bux......

 

it wouldn't be a bad side business making a few a week if people acctually bought them lol

 

Well if you buy a different set of lights, sell the S5 ones. They sell good on here.

 

Good idea lol. Nobody would buy them.

 

id buy em, i might be having a twisted look, but i think they maybe would fit well on the car, im a puny new-born Rx-7 owner tho,.....

 

egh mabye if the white was all black then itd be a different story with some led's

 

Even those I would put some led's in lol.

 

Looks to me like they just threw some mesh on tehre and upped the price $600. Those are jap s4 tails so there probly worth atleast $200 alone.

 

personally if they were all red or red on bottom it would look a LOT cleaner, the white and black alone just looks wrong. Personally im gonna do the LED retrofit on mine soon, and then possibly just candy red the turn signals like i had on my MX6 at one point. it all depends on how i like the LEDs after i paint my car white. i always liked the S5 tails ever since i first started wanting one.
