I know that the s5 taillights are highly saught after for s4 owners
but say you own an s5, and you wanted to see if there were any Euro taillights available on the internet. however, the wierdest thing is no matter how hard you look you will never find any. the only different taillights i have seen are for FD's. Has anyone in here ever known of them existing? If so .. where?

i think ssauto chrome makes them out of buble gum and tissue paper. they work pretty good i hear. also, if you have a chance, get their manifolds, they are made from pixie dust and toilet paper tubes.


euro? what do you mean euro? you mean ricer lights? not. thank god that they dont make ricer junk for rx7's except ssautcrap.

On a serious note, i have not seen many "euro" (whatver that is)taillights for a fc. Im guesing you mean clear lenses...? Ive seen some people modify theirs, but please, just leave them as is.

EDIT: k-roks post get deleted, lol PWNT!

I have S4 euro lights for my vert. They have a rear fog light built in and only fit verts unless you have the euro trim panel.

On the other hand...

Maybe he means the lame *** Altenza style lights... if so he needs to sell his RX-7 and get a Honda, where they make crap like that to help fix the styling.

I've seen the clear lens S5 ones posted up a couple times. Not the worst looking things imaginable, but I'm not in line to buy them by any means.

stock s5 lights look great and function, leave them stock.
a few people have rmoved the diffusers from inside the s5 lights but they look like ******* ****, look like red tinted altezzas.

NEVER ricer lights on the FC?! thats worse then a 240sx with a skyline backlight conversion (saw it at the faulken drift show) lol is your avatar your arm tatoo? thats tite lol

sleeperfc

they look out of place.

I've always wanted a set of clear S4 lights in a euro configuration (with the foggie). When done propperly they look really good.

Makenzie71

nothing on that car looks "in place"...

k-rok

if youve got pics of this makenzie, ide really like to see that actully, i dont think i ever have

k-rok

actully the garbage in the background fits it quite nicely

Makenzie71

rok...this is the only pic left (that I can find) from a guy here who made a set or two...he made them pretty cheap, though, and they looked really poor under close inspection.



I also really like these:

k-rok

looks like a solid....i wanna say design....but ill go with "idea". i might buy another set of s4 tails and just goof with them. and for anyone thinking it, remember, nightshading the whole tail assembely IS ILLEGAL

ROTFL!!! well said...... well said!

I've always really liked the clear/candy apple red tinted translucent. I think that is Euro lights? I'm not into rice at all, but sometimes you want to be different.

I think when blacked-out they look good. Like this:

Thank you DigitalSolo for the picture.

reatrdedspleen

Anybody have any idea how exactly they did those blacked out s4's? take them apart and get them tinted?


I think that looks pretty good on a black FC.

The reason tinted tail lights are illegal is cause it makes them difficult to see during the daytime. as well as night. But what if you got some sort of super bright LED's or regular lights that would show through...i dont think a cop would give you a ticket if you were able to see through them easily.

Makenzie71

Cop might not give you a ticket but one can simply because...

...is not the reason they're illegal. They're illegal because the department of transportation approved a specific design to meet specific criteria. Altering that design in any way makes it a product that the DOT has not reviewed, no approved.

What makes me laugh is how clear or Altezza-syle lights get called "Euro" lights by the junk dealers who sell them and the ricer kids who buy them, when there's nothing even slightly European about them. What European car had lights like that? None that I can think of.

I think they do it just because kids like fad words, like JDM, they need it to sound exotic before they dump their $9.95 into it.

k-rok

this is true, and funny. i think like, lexus's and nissan maxima's are the only car that come with stock tailights like that. its not "Der Nissan" folks ;-)

the second set makenzie posted look great, i love how they get rid of the orange section.

Have you ever used VHT Nightshades? I've completely blacked out the tails on one of my cars, and the lights shine through completely at night time..

k-rok

but nighttime isnt the problem, seeing it in the daytime is. stand behind your car ahnd have someone hit the turns and the breaks. youll see.
