Even though the two trim rings look similar, the H5 rings won't work. You could use the H4 chrome trim rings as is or you can cover the chrome rings with some primered H4 rings that get painted body-colored. You'll also have to change the electrical connector for the bulb base. I found them in the "ricer" aisle at Auto Zone. They had some nice heavy-duty ones. Just connect them in the same triangular configuration, solder and shrink-wrap and you're in business. The H5 headlight assembly secures to tabs within the headlight bucket, with the H5 trim rings clipping to the top of the fender at 12 o'clock and securing at 6 o'clock with a machine screw. On the H4, the trim ring is part of the headlight assembly, so the trim ring, which secures exactly like the H5 trim ring, is acutually holding the entire assembly in place. I did this same change on my car and the improvement in lighting is dramatic.
