Well if you're handy, you could purchase this one (passenger side) and swap the guts from your current headlights into the lens:

Hella Head light for Audi A6 4.2 models RH | eBay.

OR

car-parts.com

OR

Check the part out threads over on vortex

VWVortex.com - Parting out 2000 a6 4.2

Check to see if he still has the headlights. They're cloudy, but they look intact -- you can polish/wet-sand them back to near new condition easily.

I looked for a while for aftermarket headlights for my 4.2. As I am sure you have learned the 4.2 is wider (wide body) than the rest of the A6 line. The only headlight I found was on eBay and had angel eyes (to BMW for me). The sesond problem with the one set I found on eBay is they were 3-wire headlights, mine are four wire. Then you get in to the bi-xenon and self-leveling issues. I spoke with a vendor in Europe who suggested more 4.2s were sold in the US than in Europe and the numbers were much lower so there hasn't been a great rush to produce an aftermarket light.

The angel eye light is still on eBay, the guy who is selling is "fishcake 421" I beleive. Fishcake did say they were looking at producing a 4 wire headlight in the future.

New Hella units are not cheap. My driver's side light is a new Hella and it looks great.

Sorry for the ramble.
