Who the hell would pay that much for a stupid piece of plastic? Most S5 taillights on sale are so crusted up with dirt/oil its hard to even tell their supposed to be circles.

Make your own damnit. I remember I once saw a member who had put a black piece of plastic over the entire tail light area (the area between them as well) and made his own red/yellow circles. It looked much better than an S5 light, but I doubt I could reproduce what he did.

If anyone knows where I can get a picture of his setup, please post.
