Might be worth getting the 'vert lights and selling them for money to put towards regular '89-91 taillights.

Seems like they should bolt up, but it will look kinda dumb.

As Dale said, they will fit but you will have the key hole in the plate panel.

I betcha you could get $250 for the s5 vert tail lights though for someone that had an 88 and wanted the later lights.

Comparied to the $150-$200 that most people are getting for the S5 coupe lights.

The 'vert lights are narrower, the license plate frame is wider. Just hold them up there, you'll see what I mean- they DON'T fit properly. You could make it work with all 3 parts, but I suggest selling/trading them and getting the correct ones. The 'vert ones are rarer, but not as many people need them- so I think it's a wash.

Note that I already HAVE a set, so I'm not trying to talk you into selling them to me or something like that.

I suggest finding someone with a 'vert that wants them and getting them to buy a set of the coupe ones (easier to find) and swap them with you.

If you decide to sell them, let me know and I'll take them off your hands.
