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"

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.

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.

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
