how do you switch the s4 taillights into the s5.

 

So if i want to put S5s in my s4 all the plugs and mounting points are the same?

 

I thought some trimming up had to be done to get the s5s to fit correctly?

 

Yeah, pretty much.. maybe some slight modification but if i remember right, mine bolted right in and everything works.
Took me about 10 mins total install time.

Yeah, I thought you had to like bend a piece of metal so the S5 connectors fit better.

 

i if i remember it was to bend the piece of metal to clear the license plate light or reverse.

 

Yea...bend the piece next to license plate to clear the reverse light...then boom

 

When installing the S5 in a 86 S4 there are a couple of S4 light plugs which have an extra nub on them which does not match up with the S5 plug hole.A dremel will take care of this fitment issue after a few moments of cutting off the extra nubs.

 

is it just me..if i read right sounds like he's askin how to put the s4 lights in an s5. Probly not what he meant, but thats what it says...idk im lost..or is this just another s5 conversion write up?

 

^ good point i think he meant the s4 upgrade to s5 also. yep just dremal the side nubs and you need the s5 pigtails plugging into the s4 light harness in the rear. been a while since i did mine but it did take about 20 min dremaling and screwing on all those little 10mm nuts. also recommend getting new taillight gaskets lik 15 from the dealer. do it right the first time=spending less time in future correcting your mistakes. plus makes it look better by taking no shortcuts.
