Default where can i get stock headlights and fogs?

when i purchased my car the previoius owner decided it was cool to slap some after market one piece black lights on there and take off the stock fogs and put after market ones... oem fogs are like 300 bucks for one side and the oem euro spec one piece lights are like 600 bucks and they dont even fit... mods are required to be done on the fenders... i've been searching the local wrecking yard but theres not many audis there... just lots of beamers and hondas... any help would be appreciated... thanks..


heres a pic of my headlights / fogs for reference... and my buddys m3 and 530i in the background

Look on eBay for OEM fogs (around $90 although I don't know if they include grilles). For headlights, get the Depo two-piece projectors. I had them before converting to one-piece lights. I will say though that the fender trimming on the one-piece lights is easy and worth doing.

What Jeremy said. The two piece lights will not require re-wiring.

Also since you have a 97, I believe you didn't have stock fog lights to begin with.

^^^ exactly. The Depo two-piece lights are made to provide projectors on a pre-facelift car. No fender trimming or rewiring, just plug and play.

The Depo lights are on eBay. You had factory fogs on your car, but what Krip meant was that you didn't have them down low in the bumper. Pre-99.5 cars had them integrated into the bottom center of the headlight assembly.
