Some varieties of the Mark1 Audi 100 had the 4 x 5.25" headlights.  
 This looked particularly good on the 100S Coupe (a mid 1970s Coupe 
 based on the 100 body shell which looked very similar to the Aston 
 Martin coupes much beloved of 007).  I suppose there is a chance that 
 if you could find the headlamp carrier for one of these cars, it might 
 bolt straight in to a Mark 3 (post 1983) car, and presumably you could 
 pick and choose the 5.25" headlights to fit in the carrier.

Also, the top-of-the-range UK spec Audi 80 and VW Passats and Sciroccos 
 of this vintage had 4 x 5.25" headlights.  These always looked more 
 stylish than the dual 7" or early rectangular headlights that were 
 available on some models of these cars.
