No.

Vert tails(s4 & s5) are larger then that coupe versions.... since there werent many 89+ verts made, they are hard and expensive to get ahold of :)

staticguitar313 02-23-05 12:13 AM

indeed, but i always run into them on ebay instead of the coupe ones, i guess you get what your not looking for huh

Hey moron, learn how to read... "there weren't MANY 89+ verts made".... u are obviously really illiterate idiot

hahah calm down noobie....it's ok to make mistakes...I misread MANY as ANY.....and I never disagreed with the larger part.......now dbl up on ur meds and calm down. I consider it part of the taillight assembly.....
:bigthumb: now stay out of the sun....it's making u a cranky boy.

felixwankel88 02-25-05 10:16 PM

ok.... but to my knowledge, there are big differences in vert to coupe tails...... each taillight is actually 2 pieces on a vert..... part of the taillight goes up with the trunk when its opened...... coupes are 1 piece..... i think they use vert taillights on european coupes due to the enlarged liscense plates, but not sure!! ill post a few pics so you see what i mean





note....... also, european taillights have one white reverse light, and a red one

i love the way they look

has anybody tried to put them in the oven for a few minutes to soften the clue to pull them apart.?

drewl 04-29-05 12:27 AM

i used a hair dryer. heat gun would be better. i thought about using the oven but i dunno how hot to do it. i didn't wanna melt the lenses or anything.

sub9lulu 04-29-05 12:49 AM

i like the stock one better

SmogSUX 04-29-05 12:54 AM

^^ Stock > ALL ...It took me 8 hours with a hair dryer to open up one tail, remove all the silicone, put in all new silicon and let it sit overnight to dry. I'm not even going to bother with my right one..haha.

staticguitar313 04-29-05 12:54 AM

i like s4 lights better
