Default having problem with installing my headlight

I just purchased the following item from ebay
and it seems it would fit to my A4 B5 model
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-01...Q5fAccessories

But the problem is tht one of the mechanics I know told me the lines don't match.
Has anybody tried installing this or does anyone know about this item?

If anyone does know about this item, please describe it for me briefly.
Thanks

Send a PM to Blacksheep or BriesA4 - they both have those on their cars and can talk to you about what wiring mods are needed.

YES, depending on witch car you have..
i read somewhere that if you have a face-lift car that you will have to do some splicing and dicing...
but if you have a pre face-lift it should be plug and play?
what year is your car

Dis your 99 come with 1 piece headlights? pre-facelift and facelift cars were divided in 99 as Audi did a mid year update. If you have 2 piece they should be plug and play.
