Down-grade S5 taillights into S4
Is it possible to replace the round lights with the square tail lights from the S4. I saw the writeup regarding doing the reverse. I found a nice pair at the junkyard, and I just want something diferent.

Nope. The current S5 lights are in perfect condition. No cracks or leaks. I just want to change things up. Maybe mod the S4 lenses. I am not going to sell the S5 lenses. That would be foolish. I def think the S5 looks much better. But I just like to tinker with stuff.

They bolt right inwithout any modification as best I remember. The S4 liscense plate frame that goes between the lights is made a little different but if I remember correctly the S5 works without any problems. I ran S4 tails a friend gave me for acouple of months after I was rear-ended until I could find some used S5's.

I have a mint set of S4 tail lights that were refinished if anyone wants to downgrade. I am willing to part with these beautiful tail lights just to help the good of the RX7 community.

S5 ftw... it's a clean design that looks even cooler when the lights are on and it's dark outside.
S4 lights are like a generic 80's design. Wow, a bunch of rectangles.
They look ok on 10AE's though (but that's because they're a bit different)...
You guys are like mothers with ugly kids or something
*cough* denial *cough*
I'm not saying this because I have an S5... I'm being completely objective, and thought they were superior long before I even thought of buying an RX-7.
