Step one remove the S4
Step two try to fit the S5
Step three bend back the peice of metal near the license plate that's in the way
Step four fit the S5 lights


seriously, It's pretty obvious. Just use your head, a touch of commonsense, and a pair of pliars and you too can have the freedom of fabrication

I have an S5 with S4 tails. The S4 guys make it near impossible for me to get S5 replacements.
