Ken,
I went 180 degrees from Bernie. I got the correct plugs from Europe and
they certainly are handy, but also got the rubber boots from the local
dealer, can get PN if needed. On my next set to install (waiting for
arrival) I will go with generic spade connectors as the harness was vy
pricey and I will pay up only for the rubber boots to protect the less
robust individual connectors. With regard to assymetrical wiring you could
be very correct. Still have to give Kudos to SJM for that bit of advice.
Did my first 200 install a few weeks ago. In this Maine weather your
really want to measure twice, cut once, and get the hell out of the cold.
Without his warning that the wiring could be different side/side, I would
have tested one and wired both identically. WRONG (in this case)
Don't forget to disconnect all bulb and internal wiring when you are
continuity testing for appropriate bulbs/beams. When you are sure you have
it all right, wired, soldered, relayed, installed and something doesn't
work. Double check the grounds. The ground that worked for the test fit
can often times not cut it when you go to make it permanent.

I want the stock plug that goes into this external connector, so that all
the
connections are sealed to the elements per the Audi design for european
headlights.
The four terminals are in a square pattern, and one of them is actually
wired
upside down, or rotated 180 degrees, which I have seen mentioned on the list
in
the past.
