Bastardized my S4 tails..PICS!
. I'm not into the other tails and I'll be sticking with the S4 seeing as how everyone wants the S5's
Im not positive, but I believe they are talking about this stuff http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCY44&P=7
I actually used to be in the rc racing hobby, so I may be able to hook you guys up with this stuff for a reduced price.

if your car was darker i think they would look good
the one kevin posted look amazing, however i dont think they would work on another color but white

i can think of alot of legal issues with the tint.. someone rear ending you accidently.. blaming you for your tail light tint to get out of the at fault even though they know the lights were perfectly visable at night. they are not legaly approved so how yould you fight it?

May be a thin layer of plexi in red.... dunno. How easy are the s4's to dissasemble? I noticed they have screws.. Is that it or do they have to be "baked"?
i must be the only person that thinks s4 taillights look amazing at night time. The s5 tails look to much like the ford probe or some other gm cars I have seen. Actually most of the time I don't see me tail lights.

look up erikseven's S5 light mod, all you need to do is remove the stock S5 diffuser and it looks like the top half of those S4 tails.
S4 at night are great. I wonder if people in Japan try to get our S4 tail lights? Some Aspec.
12 years later GM and everyone and the sister company trys to make circle tail lights of some kind.

I personally like the stock s5 lights. I've always liked circle lights like that. I've honestly never even seen s4 lights at night, and I've just seen s5's from pics. I've only seen 2 other second gens that weren't parked and I never noticed the tails.

Process:
Light sand the edges with 800 grit
Wipe the whole thing down with NAPTHA
Shoot 4 thin layers of "model tint" spray
Let dry.
Shoot 2 layers of industrial clear.
let dy.
Here are the pics, the reflector still works as you can see in the picture, it is the red spot on the driver's side light...
