http://www.cars-parts.nl/dparts/database/dpindex.htm has something, perhaps...
You need the lights off an '84-'86 Audi 80 (unless you want to deal with
relocating the turn signals, in which case the H4/H1 lights off an '84-'86
Audi 90 would be an awesome alternative).
Not exactly rare as hen's teeth, but I've been looking without success for
some time (found three in the last five years!). The early (flat-glass)
lights are plentiful and therefore cheap, but look stupid in later cars. B2
Audi 90s are VERY rare in scrapyards- there's only one in my area, and it's
been mostly picked clean (by me).

Try http://www.goudengids.nl or http://www.detelefoongids.nl for any
scrapyards in the area.
Be prepared to pay a lot, phone around a lot and travel a lot... take it
from someone who's been locating used Audi parts for years, never mind
cheaply.

The best scrapyards are around Rotterdam, BTW.

When exactly are you in Holland?
