    I don't know if the factory one is available, but you can probably find
the Thule one easily enough.  I bought Thule racks for my car (91 200-20V)
from a mailorder bike shop.  (www.ageebike.com)  The total cost was around
$160 for fit kit, feet and load bars.   I think the fit kit for the Coupe is
#94 and its a 50" load bar.  The foot pack is number 400.

    My girlfriend also has a 91 Coupe and she has the same problem with BOTH
lights.  Hopefully someone has a solution because I'm not thrilled about
buying two new Audi lights.

PS:  Does anyone know how to get to the headlight washer tank on the Coupes.
Her leaks out the wheelwell and I'm not sure how to get to the tank.
