Do S5 blinkers work on S4 rx7s?
I have an 87 Turbo II, I bought a set of clear S5 Blinkers. I noticed that the S4 uses three wires (dual Filament bulb) and the S5 uses a two wires (Single Filament) . My question is: Can (How Do) I wire it up to use both the blinker and running light function?

Plug in no problem? Well the S4 plug is a three wire... and the S5 is a two.... unless you mean I should pull out the socket from the S4 light housing and insert it into the S5 Light housing.

^^possible but i do not know. Maybe some better experts can chimmie in.
On my s4 the s5 lights mated by me just plugging them in. I did not have to alter anything. Show us pictures of the s4 & s5 turn signals and the connection on the harness that they plug into. Maybe im missing something or im just lucky but everything worked fine for me.

If the S4 plug that you currently have on your car fits the new lenses that you recently aquired then you have nothing to worry about. Again, if the plug fits then there is no extra adaptation necessary. Remember, the lenses you have are just a plastic housing and they much not care how many wires are running to it or not as the only relevant issue is if the S4 plug is a proper fit or not.

You should be able to use them interchangeably and the connectors should be the same. I rode around with a S4 turn signal just put in my S5 bumper to pass inspection just fine.
If the connector isn't matching up it could be the j-spec issue. On the usdm ones that I had the red and green wires served to operate the light and the black wire was a ground that just touched the light assembly. Not sure what your connectors look like but if you want to strip wires you can just mate the red and green wires together and switch what type of connector you have that does match. I would be careful what you do though and see how the two wire j-spec turn signals ground if the third wire missing is the black one.
