Headlight recommendations?

[Sze Hui]

Thanks for the advice.  I know of a wrecking yard nearby...but I live in such a small town that I know of about 3 Audis in the tri-county area (two 5k's, one of which is mine, and a late-90's A4).  Big thanks for the heads-up about the grille...definitely would not have known that, and that would have caused me some trouble.
