riiiiiiight, are you looking for the converted LED s5's? The painted skyline version? The Altezza clear ones? The tinted nightshade ones? Or the painted S4's that some 14 year old fucked up after being inspired by "Too fast Too furious"?

Once you decide which one you want then copy and paste in the search box.

Edit: lol you edited it and added the pic after I responded, those and the LED version are the only two S5 mods I would do.

I'm pretty sure they just removed the blurry clear plastic behind the lense. BTW you would probably get pulled over in two seconds if the bulb is too bright which it really looks like it would be. They do look nice though.

And I think it was called something like "modernizing old taillights"

By the carpet, angle of pic, and the lights..it looks like FelixWankel88 (Dustin)'s lights. In fact I'm almost sure.

Those do look nice. And whats this talk about LED's?

dont look too bright to me.

yeah that was from felixes ebay sale.

I think it looks good. Its a more defined look.

if i knew he was selling those i would have gotten them before he put them on ebay.. dang... those are real nice..

i want some =D

i think they look like shit, reminds me of altezzas, i'll keep the diffusers in mine thank you, they are what they are, leave them alone

yeah old thread . . . they look like poop

i do have the zenki(s4) lights on mine right now and i really love them. but im the type of person who gets a litle tired of the same look for too long and will often times change it temporarily, until something else entices me. but i wont go overboard with the flashyness i.e. ricey altezzas.

btw youre insane they look nothing like altezzas. but to each his own, i guess.

Whats th thread name? I like those. Looks nice to me.

the reason i mention altezzas b/c they have no diffusers and you can see the bulb clearly i think it looks delightfully tacky i'll tell you what would look cool though . . .
modifying the tail so it uses a LED ring instead of a full lit circle, then have them smoked black (on a black car) but leave the reflectors uncovered so they're legal

I kinda like the look of those. On one side of mine it is starting to glaze over and it looks tacky. I think that doing this would made the taillights look better.

I haven't seen the LED mod however.

oops my fault. meant to post the link (yeah yea, i sux at teh intraweb)

here ya go:

also try using led bulbs and it will give it a more defined look.

what scares me about that is changing it means your tail-lights aren't D.O.T. approved, and if you get rearended and someone points this out, you could be at fault for the accident.

i think that mod + a light tint coating would look very nice on a black car.

hehh, that first pic is the set i did, hehehe, umm yeah hit me up on aim, and i can give u some info on how to do it, my aim is - felixwankel88

You'd really have to see it in person to fully appreciate how much better it looks than stock s5 taillights.

Someday I'll have updated pics and you guys will hardly be able to contain yourselves.

haha,

we need to give those lights a name...
maybe we will cal lthem S5 "eriklites"

i feel that he deserves at least some credit and regonization for doing it and telling ppl abou tit...

yup, as far as i know erik was the original one to do that, i liked them for a while but i kinda started to like stock, but ill admit they do look alot better in person, and im still not sure how i got the vert tails i sold on ebay so shinny lol

Here is what I did with mine:
