Can I install s5 turn signals on an s4?

Well, I just finished installing my S5 tail lights, and I'm about to give the car a paint job in the coming weeks... But I think the clear s5 front turn signals are just a lot more attractive than the yellos ones off the s4. Can I install S5 turn signals on my s4 front bumper with little to no modification? i.e. are they the same size, do screw holes line up, and is the wiring plug-and-play?

While I'm at it, does anyone have s5 turn signals they want to sell?

What does it entail?

*edit* searched 2nd gen forums and archives, and couldn't find a write up. I've never done any changing of body parts before, so "same as you change any body part on any car" won't help me.

I have s5 tails, and am going to paint my black trim grey like the rest of the car when I get it painted. (if I had a white or red FC, I wouldn't mind the stock black s4 trim as much)

looks like I might be staying amber, tho. old school!
(a.k.a. on the CHEAP!)

S5 bumper won't match your S4 trim, if you are okay with that.. .go for it.

keep the amber. it looks old school.
Only people with S4's say that... Its called denial.

Also, if I paint the trim on my s4, will it look ok with an s5 front bumper? It seems to look good on StatigGuitar313's car, but I'm assuming he's using s4 fenders with painted trim.

No, S4 trim doesn't even line up with S5 trim... and its a completely different shape. It will look pretty mex'd out.
