Quick question for s5 tailight conversion
 
OK the last owner of the car ( a friend of mine) attempted to put the s5 tailights on it. The drivers side fits perfect but the passenger side sticks out. ok i read aaron cakes description and searched the forums but i still ahve 2 small questions.

1) Do i have to grind the body down on both sides or just the passenger side like shown on the AC page?

2) how much do i have to trim off each side of the s4 license plate frame to make it fit? I know i should check little by little but i have to take it elsewhere to be cut so thats not an option

Thanks in advance

just bang it in a little with a rubber mallet, then it should fit fine.

1) just the passanger side

2) Uhhh, I think this one is impossible to answer. I think everyone gets an S5 center or trims it little by little to line it up.

BOTH sides. I had assumed that this was clear on my page, but I guess not. I'll have to edit.

when i put replacement tails on my kouki tii it had an S4 plate trim it was self explanitory what i had to do to make them fit onto the zenki plate trim

OK ill guess ill just try to meassure it and hope it fits. I Assumed it was just the passnger side because my drivers side sits fine, just the pasenger side sticks out. Thanks anyway guys
