Default Front valence same on all B5's? Also DEPO light Q~

Is the front valence the same on all 96-01 A4's? I have an extremely ugly aftermarket front lip on my car and I keep telling myself I'll search junkyards and craigslist for an OEM valence but never do.

So I think I'll just take the plunge and spend $135 on this one from ECS (I think this is the stock one?)

Basically wondering if this will fit my 1998 A4 with no issues, bolt right on?

Audi B5 A4 Quattro V6 30v > Exterior > Body > Valance > ES#5538 Lower Front Valance - 8D0807110L3FZ


Also, where is the best place to purchase DEPO 1 piece headlights? I am sick of the ugly 2 piece on my 98'

And has anyone had any experience with FK headlights? They sell them on ECS and they are a little cheaper than the DEPO's (at least on ECS)

Audi B5 A4 Quattro V6 30v > Lighting > Headlights > ES#10230 Halogen Headlights - Pair - FKFSA1043

$219 compared to the $250 for DEPO

Thanks

Far as I know, the lower valence is the same for all B5's. Just the lower grilles and fog lights and associated stuffs changed. The DEPO lights can be had on eBay for right around $200

Alright thank you, I am missing one of the lower grilles too so I am thinking about ordering these, not sure if the fitment will be good but I figure it'll look better than having a gaping hole there.

What about the FK lights I posted? Anyone heard anything about those? If not I'll try to find the clear DEPO's on eBay for around $200, bout time I get my front end looking decent, it looks horrible and ancient as it stands. The FK lights look similar to the clear DEPO's which is why I am curious about them

Thanks all

Yup, looks like the right ones. As for the grilles, there are cars being parted out in the classifieds. You can probably get a set for a song.

Not really my style, but I think having it painted would help
