Default HID ***'y woes

Hey all,
2003 Audi A4 1.8L Quattro
Factory HID's
I smoked a deer last October, and when I ordered a replacement, the not-so-smart tech at the local Audi dealership ordered me the non-HID headlight ***'y. Beings that I mostly drive my 300zx in the summer (and last year until November because of the nice weather) I didn't get to fixing my A4 for about a month and a half. It wasn't until that time that I realized the headlight issue. So all winter I drove my A4 with one ugly non-HID headlight and one HID. My question is this- I'm looking to replace the stock ***'ies with a set with a black bezel, and I can't for the life of me find a set that is compatible with factory HIDs!!! Does anyone know where I can pick up a set, or even if these exist?! Also, while I'm posting I can list a non-HID drivers side headlight ***'y for sale-make an offer!
Thanks in advance,
Brady

u mean the euro spec lights. Yea those are very pricey if thats what u mean. Like upwards of 1000 dollars. If i were you i would pull apart my capsuls paint the inside black reseal them up and get a hid kit and call it a day. But if u want the euro spec lights heres a link.

Here's the thing-my A4 has factory HIDs. I have read up on taking my current ***'ies apart and painting them, but there is still one problem: I only have one HID headlamp! Like I said, the driver's side ***'y was busted up when I hit that deer in October. Other than a dealership, does anyone know where I can pick up a driver's side HID ***'y for a 2003 A4 1.8L Quattro for less than the $1500 set that pa4ul just posted?

try used parts-my favorite is shokan coach works in NY. they salvage all types of audis and sell every part known to man, and only ones in good shape too. prices are very fair
