MK 5 Lights on MK 4

The dilemma...
Will the bulb holder from the Mk4 (6N) fit the rear lights of the Mk5?
Does it require any modifications to fit?
Is there anything i should be aware of before buying Mk5 lights without the bulb holders?
Thanks in advance...
I need to know chaps - help if poss.

Are those FK Black Chrome Lights?
If so, any problems with the beam projection in the dark (if LHD)?
.....and if RHD versions, where from?
