S4 TO S5 front end picture journey

I just changed my front end from the S4 to the S5 front end...still need to get the tim pieces but so far I'm pleased. I also need to wire up the driving lights. Is there any part of the original S4 harness that would lend to installing the driving lights correctly?

The before pic

I wish there were a better way of posting pics so that you can see the transition instead of having to click on the links... I've seen people do it but I'm not sure how. If anyone has the instructions or can tell me how please let me know. I did a search and came up with noting.

Thanks

The spoiler is for sale. I traded it to goblue24 for S5 black interior parts and it would not fit his S5 Vert. So you can buy it if you want as far as the nose I think it's still at the body shop unless they TOSSED it.

we had to do some modifying to the brake ducts so that the S5 foglight enclosures met the S4 brake ducts. I wish I had everything. The S5 bumper support would have made it easier alligning the driving lights and S5 brake ducts so that I did not have to modify them but you know what when it was all done I was cool with the look of it. I just need the trim pieces and to wire up the lights.

know the wiring for the turn signals is the same but I had heard that there was an optional driving light kit for the S4. I was wondering if the harness is part of the factory harness.

I just did this conversion as well.

Pretty straightforward.

I put both bumpers on, front and back. No fitment issues except for the little rubber piece that fits between the bumper and fenders in the front, it wouldn't go on with the rubber there.

heres the pics
