whats the differenve between the JDM s5 tail lights and the USDM s5 tail lights? i seen pics of both and they pretty much look the same...the only different i found is the the "J" before the "DM" and the price.

you pinned the tail on the donkey!!! that is about it.... the taillights are identical!!

the actual diameter of the jdm lights is slighty smaller then usdm ... its very slight though. u cant really tell unless u saw both lights in person and had them besdie each other.

thats a new one to me..... i have both, jdm and usdm...... they looked identical.... so....sorry about me being wrong!! it happens from time to time... lol... but i am gonna look into that one!! cause the jdm ones fit perfect on my usdm 7!!

BS. :rolleyes:

There is no difference. Anyone who tries to sell "JDM" taillights for a more than US ones is either an ignorant fool or a thieving liar. Don't be conned into paying extra. Even if they did actually come off a Japanese FC, there's absolutely nothing about them that justifies a higher price.

now the JDM S4 lights have a cool Turbo Rotary badge/sticker on them.

but like everyone says, the JDM S5 lights are exactly the same as the North American spec. Just the same generic round T-bird based lights

^^^^^hmm well you can look vaugely like a t-bird or a bad knock off of a 944. take your pick......

ill stick with s5:)

on mine S5 taillights the reverse light on one side is red another is white
i have no idea what spec is that

european spec S5 tails does have one reverse light (white) and one foglight (red)

Hey hIGGI, where is the switch for the fog light??? is it the same switch that turns on the front fog lights, or a different one???

Dam crazy europeans j/k. That flat black is awesome, I've always wanted to see one in flat black and with one reverse light :D.

i agree, i wanted to see one in flat black, that is really clean. i started primering my car because of rust and peeling paint. i might do flat black but i haven't decided because my car is white and changing the color is a pain with the engine bay etc. nice car man

i only posted that because thats what i was told by a fellow rx7 owner. i never really had the chance to see for myself so i wont argue. i think anyone that would waste 200-300 hundred on a pair of taillights (unless they are needed as a replacement) is dumb, after all they are just taillights

Mark, both euro S4 & S5's do have only rear foglights (atleast i haven`t seen car with fronts) and switch in both series is on center panel between seats (where u have power mirrors controls)

Higgi, is that car painted flat black, or black primer? It actaully looks pretty awesome like that IMO. Noted the shaved badges too.

damn i want eh S4 "turbo rotary ones" or at least the sticker...uh when i actually get a T2 swap that is...

Here they are:

interesting
so in europe they use convertible taillight on a coupe

car is painted flat black

I like that... definately unique

the license plate bracket is also larger, there is no space after the reverse lights like a us one, our license plates arent that big. so the lights themselves arent as wide.

So ALL JDM S4s had that badge, i mean sticker?

Other than the one red lense for the fog light, the European lights are exactly the same as the convertible ones. The shorter lights allows the huge European plate to fit. ;)

convertible lights have a keyhole on the passenger side lens housing though.
I wonder if those euro light cars have a different light switch?
I know the Mercedes and some other cars have a position on the switch for turning on that one red light only.
