See my site, http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AudiJunk/index.html for any
info on this. The S2 turn signals are in the bumper, the headlights are
dual-beam units that don't include the turn signals.
However, Hella and In.pro (links on my site, see 'headlight upgrades') have
clear turn signals for the 80 which look great.

 Also I was wondering where I could get

European Audi 80s have amber rear turn signals, one problem: Euro cars
don't have the side markers in the turn signals.
I'm considering going to all-red for my car, but it will probably involve
buying the lights from In.pro (my car's red, I'd like to have the all-red
taillights where the turn signals glow amber when they're on and are red
when they're off).

If you think you can do without the side markers, you could always mount
European taillights. Don't spray-paint the lights- you'll be much less
noticeable, less light output. Not to mention a great opportunity to screw
up with uneven coats of paint, plus the end result will always look
painted...

If there's any more info you need, please e-mail me direct.

HTH,

Tom
