Try Matt's Lenses

No affiliation, never used them, etc. But they advertise
used lenses. Probably cheaper than an Audi dealer. (almost
goes without saying!) If I recall, on my 86 5ks the dealer
wanted c. $90 for one side. I decided to repair the old
unit: The part that sticks out and snaps to the center black
plastic piece had snapped off (i.e. not safety or cosmetic).
A bit of epoxy has held for eight months.
