After sitting in a cubicle all day staring at flourescent light fixtures the last thing I want on my car is a flourescent light reflector from Home Depot!, Or some light the designers lifted after looking at a thunderbird!

I think they look pretty slick for those of us that dont want to fork out $200 for S5 tails.

Not that S5 taillights are anything to write home about anyway.

Pretty slick looking, don't know if I'd buy it, but it's not bad.

I agree, S5 tails are over rated, and those tails would look really good with my paintjob. The only reason I wouldn't buy them is that I'd have to find someplace that I can buy the paint from again to get it matched up to my car.

Somehow a DIY job would make me feel alot better about having them on my car.

They'd look better smoked.

I think it is a lot better than S4 lights, and a decent price at that. I'd buy them if I owned an S4, and have them tinted.

Those lights look nice and clean except in the lightup picture at night. They need to be less pink, and I think theyd be cool.

Thats S4 trim, probably painted white. I dont think thats a 10AE, the shade of white doesnt look right

I'm picturing it more and more smoked like the S5 lights... The red would be darker, and the clear lenses wouldn't shine like altezza's... much more dull.

It would look really good.

Someone on this forum has S4 taillights that he stripped the orange part off them so it is clear, and put in an orange bulb for the turn signal. I'm going to try doing that with mine. I think those look a lot better than these ones do; kinda ricey.
