I think they are a slightly different shape. Probably not. But just buy a S5 bumper and there you go.

I've been looking for something like that too! I think clear or white will look so much cleaner.

yea i know and my car is red so the orange just looks icky hahaha..i did take the orange cover off and cut 2 rectangles of plexi-glass and glued it around the side of it after i put a couple hyper-white bulbs in..well that worked ok until i found out one of the bulbs was busted hahaha....so then i had to take both of those stupid things off and out the orange covers back on, so i just thought i'd get real one

you will have white lenses but when u make a turn or turn on the lights u'll have orange blinkers/lights still...there is this yellow-orange thing inside the lens that--if I remember correctly--u can't remove...I believe I tryed to remove mine!!

well mine aren't likr that...like i said i put the clear plexi-glass over them, not snowy like the S5's would be and it was white with blue tiny like it was supposed to be...i think you are talking about the reflector inside of the housing but mine is silver like a mirror...

The lenses are different from the 88 to 89 and up. I might be selling my 89 lenses if I can make a new blinker in the headlight design I am finishing up.

They won't fit...the bottom corners are curved on the S5 ones, while they are straight on the S4, as well as the housing is different (slightly thinner and again curved in the lower corners.

S5

I just spray painted a thin layer of white over ALL my lights. Even my S5 tails. Much cheaper, and I'm the coolest.

I agree with an earlier reply. Get the S5 nose mounts right up and has the nicer <IMO> embossed "Mazda" on it.
My buddy has a 3rd gen nose on his, looks good if he'll ever paint the thing!
