They're the same.

However fyi: convertible tails are different from the coupes.

And EDM(Europe) tails are different from the rest.

Just an add in case the OP wasn't aware S4 & S5 lights are different & he may have thought the S5's are JDM. I have had alot of people ask me where I got JDM tails when in fact they are just S5.

I've never researched it, but just from pics I always assumed Euro tails were the same as verts? But with a different license plate holder.

I just got some.

Found 3 lenses and a bracket with a bulb for the license plate reclocation.

Just to add this in:

Yes EU tails are different, but connectors are plug n play. No wiring mods required (on an S5 at least, don't expect different from S4). JDM and USDM do have an extra 2 holes for the licence plate light though.

For who ever was wondering
