I asked the same type of question a couple weeks ago and...

  Graydon's 5000 has a wider space b/w the turn signals than my '86 4kcsq.
His 5000 doesn't have the extra reflectors next to the turn signals that the
4000's have (not sure about the coupes).  Looks great on his car, but I'm
not to sure if it would look as well on the 4000 being that close together
not to mention what kind of beam pattern you would get.  I'm still debating
where it would look the best.
