Yes, BTDT on our '82 urq.  OEM 4k 85's fit right in as long as you also get
the grill and upper and lower trim pieces which are above and below the
headlights/turn signals.

The 2 lamp (3 if you include the city lights) euros greatly improve the
look of the car and also fit right on.  That is what I have now.  The car
had the former when I bought it.

Consider what I thought: the '85 lights/grill update the car 2 years; the
euro one-piece lights update that car 8 years (from '83 to '91).

Couple this with A8 wheels and the car "looks" like it is a '90s car.
Remember, the M3 and other imports had boy racer fenders in 1990 like the
urq had in the early '80s.

Now if I only replace the '70s "Disco" zebra strip interior with some
"quattro" material from an A4!  Hmmm.  Another project!
