Looks like I get to be the first person to welcome you to the forums.
im not too sure myself but you might want to ask the seller. usually they will know what the things fit on.

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?
