Doesn't look like they are the same. ETKA has this info:
4b0 941 003 be 6 cyl left
4b3 941 003 E 8 cyl Left

Couldn't tell you the difference but if they were the same they would use the same part number (this is for a quatro)

The previuos owner of my car had changed the headlight shortly before I purchased it. Unfortunately for me, he must have gotten his numbers mixed up.

I now have two slightly different head lights!!! [:@]

Oh well. So, the moral of the story, make sure you get the correct part number, EXACTLY

If you get the wrong year of head lamp the Lens will be a different size. I believe the 99-01's were 65mm lenses that were xenons. The 02-04's were 80 or 85mm and were bi-xenons. I don't know that there is a difference between 6cylinder and 8 cylinder lights though. Maybe because of the wider fenders?
