don't buy any lights off ebay, please. they are almost all garbage. find a pair of used OEM headlights from a 99.5-01 A4 and remove the amber inserts...i have them on my 96, you can see em in my sig

EDIT: and welcome to the forums!

You could go with the later OEM lights that need a little trimming of the fender or after market like these on ebay which I think fit without any trimming.

I would not touch the ebay lights. I went the same route as bentframe when I had 2 piece headlights on my 98 sedan. Bought some used oem lights off a 2000 car. Looked much better (needed trimming)

Your find a write-up on most things on the Audi forums and Audiworld.com is one of the best places to look.
