Believe it or not, the most recent J.C. Whitney catalog has 'em ... look on
page 54: '85-'86 4000, '84-'88 5000 & Quattro, '88-'94 80, 90 series.  They
cost $39.95 plus shipping (and a lifetime on their mailing list ... in fact,
I'm not so sure they won't keep sending them to me long after I'm dead!).

And while I'm on the subject of lights, are you people REALLY thinking about
spending $600 for a pair of HEADLIGHTS?  Considering that you can buy a set
of rectangular h1/h4s for approx. $125 (No, they don't look as nice, but...)
and $600 represents 10 to 20% of the FMV for the ENTIRE car, I think you are
all crazy in the head ... mind you, that's probably why I enjoy reading this
list as much as I do!  :^)
