Really, because my 87 s4 turbo 2 has the round type tailights. I guess the guy I bought it from converted them. I honestly didnt think there was a difference.

At one time I wanted to change my 88 lights out, but after a while everybody seemed to be doing it, so now mine 'seem' more rare.

I like the both...
the s5 you see all over the place since most people think it looks better
but the s4 is what the fc was introduced with and has a personal appeal to me... when cleaned up they both look nice imo

used to hate S5 tail, i liked the red/black contrast of my s4's on my 86 gxl, then a set of s5's came up for sale locally for $100 with harnesses and gaskets, so yeah, sometimes i miss the s4's, but i remember how when lit up they remind me of civic taillights.
