The H5 was delivered, but you can install the H4's as they are better lights.

No.
The lens, housing, bulb and plug are different.

There are a million H4 conversion threads here.

I have H5's that I have cleaned and replaced melted plugs etc..

They now just suck a little less than they did before......
