to each his own style and taste..
I swapped out the S4 for S5 lights a long while ago but still have the complete set (with licence plate - very good shape). Let me know if you need it.
I like the S5 a little better...

I dont think round lights match the square lines of the car. I like my s4's but I think I'd like the turn signal and reverse lens to be tinted. red on top black on the bottom. done deal.

I like the taillights, but think I will still end up swapping in some s5 tails. They just look so good

I'm with Ice on this one... +1 for S4.

Earlier RX-7s didn't have round taillights, but they DID have taillight designs that were closer to the S5 with a line of "invisible" horizontal lights that lit up in section. Not round, but still closer then the S4 lights. I see the S4 lights as the odd ones.
