Dont get me wrong, I am not one of those guys that jumps and screams seacrh every 5 seconds, but seriously this has been covered six or 7 thousand times. Yes they will fit, with some modification to the licenseplate frame, or you must use the s5 license plate frame. Very simple.

when i tried to put s5 tails on my 88 gxl...... they wouldnt fit due to hitting part of the rear of the car.(inner part of the reverse light).... i had to cut out part of the car for them to fit....... and ive heard a million people say that you dont have to cut anything... which is why i found it so wierd...... do i have a freak of nature...or are people only giving half the story??
