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

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

^^ 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.
