Stongard or equivalent

[Jan Pinkowish]

Hey Andrew, 

The u-shaped pocket on the Stongard is to go around the glass nipple of the USDOT spec lenses.  Are your euros H4 or the H1/H4? 

If you search ebay for "Stongard Audi", you'll bring up listings.  They are all sold by  one guy in Victoria, BC that has a huge supply of NOS Stongard headlight kits. He has a listing for 88-92 Audi 80/90 but those look like for USDOT lights.  He has a listings for Audi 5k turbo / 200 with euro lens, and for 2004 A8  that you could cut to fit. 

Email the guy and ask him to measure the 5k and A8 S tongard for you.  



Here's a link to the ebay listings:

'85 4ksq

My '87 4kq, which I got 14 years ago this week, came with Stongard on   
the Euro lights. In the last couple of years, the Stongard has   
started to come off on both sides. Each piece of Stongard has a small   
U-shaped pocket at the top center. The pockets trap crud, which   
doesn't do anything for the beam pattern. 

I'm wondering whether Stongard is still around. Their website is, but   
it doesn't work very well. Their phone (local to me, as it happens)   
is disconnected. An online search turns up some other brands: XPel,   
Lamin-X, LampGard. Any BTDT? Thanks!
