Yes.

these "non-sealed beam" lenses are only for the old "standard" headlight
setups.  They're made in the four standard sizes, big and little round,
big and little rectangular.

They can sometimes be fitted to an aerodynamic headlight Audi, by
swapping in old style buckets and trim, if there was an identical body
setup with the old style lights (like some 5k's, and the 4k/coupe).  You
gotta like the look to do this though.

"eurolights" are much more of a drop in replacement, they would be the
lenses made for the same year and model for the european market, they
will fit your trim, etc., keep the car looking the same, and only
usually require some wiring work to install.  (the connectors will be
different)
