Looks like something is wrong with your headlight motors...

But seriously, I'd have to see the lights on another car to really get a feel for how they'd look.

Ahh the subculture of car enthusies who like low gloss, satin, or primer, but tastefully done / no rattle can paint.

Personally I'd either "red crystalize" the inner lenses or apply a light coat of smoke / see through red. Those tail lights aren't bad though, and if low cost/appearance/quick mod is your goal that would look nice.

i think smoking the tails completely would be better for your car....... not a big fan of making s4 look like s5's...... either get s5's or smoke the s4's out completely

Am I the only FC owner that likes the S4 tails? The S5's look OK at night, but I prefer the S4's painted with the body color.

Fix the broken stuff or buy something that makes your car faster.

My $.02

what are they.... like $10, just go ahead and buy them. take em off if you dont like em and call it a day. it'd be different if they were like $50+. i dont think it'd look too bad personally

He already said he doesn't really want the real thing. Also, I think Icemark likes the s4's. I believe theres a few others as well. I don't really have a problem with them, but the s5's were already on my car when I got it.

well ive always thought s4 lights look better on an s4 then s5 lights...it looks weird to me.

i dont think those photshop skillz do it justice, may as well put em on and see, if not just smoke em.

You should just get yourself some S5s, probably would be happier with them in the long run.

I wen't with s5's and I love'em! Thats e-bay, I just saw those today, and laughed! Glad you decided not to do that! Stick with the squares and custom modify. Smoke'em, or Clear them out , or will sell you some 87 square ones for cheap and you can do what you like! $50 OBO shipped with some of the bulbs! right one has a very small crack, can get pics if you want, but im sure you don't WTB. Almost chucked them at a dumpster...
