If you want altezza tailights, buy a honda.

If you want nice looking tail lights, get the Series 5 lights.

if you go to www.fc3s.com you will find info on installing the S5(round) tails on an S4. There is a bit of modification you have to make with the metal behnid the tail light to make the round ones fit. It is not a big deal at all, but just so you know. Also, prepare to spend a couple C-notes for a set of them.....people know they are better looking than ours, and will price them accordingly. I am looking into the salvage yards around here to see if I can swipe a set cheap.

Thought you were making a statement about what you thought of clear or the S5 T-bird style lights on the FC.

also--if you look for the S5 lights, make sure you don't get a pair that were on a convertible. The convertibles have a different light and it wont fit on your GXL.

The convertible lights fit just fine if you replace the plate surround and plate lights as well.

I personally like the S4 lights, I just think the black surround needs to be body colored, like the 10AE...

I like the S4 lights better, the S5's are kick *** and all, but they dont' flow as well with the car in MY opinion. There are agressive angled/chiseled curves on the FC body and they flow well with the rectangle lines on the S4 tails, but the circles are too "busy" looking on the car to me. But DAMN if they aren't nice looking either way, I agree on the body coloring too.
