I'm guessing this is the sedan only lights?

 

[njg5gt]

it better be. otherwise he's holding out on us!

i am not sure. I would think that they would fit in both coupe and sedan considering the stock versions look to be exact same unless i am mistaken

 

[Renesis]

nah they're sadly not the same!

They are different sizes... Sedan has slightly larger tails although not too noticeable by the naked eye.

Damn that sucks!
LED taillights on a coupe would look amazing!
Gah.
We need more pretty things to add.

I'm mad there isn't much out there for the coupe.

 

[Nighthawk243]

Well... considering the G5 is getting more common in the US now (I seen two others today...) it'll probably get its own set of lights.

i can't wait for someone to come out with new taillights for the coupe, ive been looking all over the place for them, no such luck. someone told me 2-3 months someone should have something

Hi, I am just looking to replace the bulb in my tail light of my G5, I am totally unable to disconnect the wire harness. my manual told me to lift a clip, but I can't seem to get it. I also tried to turn it both clockwise and counterclockwise as that appears to be recommended as well...it is not budging. Is there anything anyone can recommend for me to try?

Some pics!

After removing net hook, you can pull back the carpet and access the nuts and screws.

Remove the nuts using a wrench, then you can remove the tail light. Then just turn counterclockwise the connector to unplug it and then you can access the bulbs for replace them.

Hope this helps for those who want to replace the tail light bulbs.

Not in the coupes.

Sedan only needs removed if one of the marker bulbs is burned.

 

[kingG5]

ahh yah makes sense.
