Default Aftermarket headlights

I need some new headlights for my 01 audi quattro a6 c5 with the 4.2 v8. mine does not have the factory xenon. Everything ive looked at is very exspensive and there is alot of options. i was looking at these and wanted to know what yall think, if they will work or not or what my best option would be. You guys know this stuff a ton better than i do.

Default I don't think they'll fit the widebody 4.2.

Need or want? New halogen 55W bulbs can improve things a lot. Unless your OEM assemblies are toasted or the reflectors bad, just keep the same type.

Both. I like the headlights I posted the link for, but also the wiring in the headlight housing is all screwed up, the wires are bare from the insulation coming off and it's shorting out stuff. And the lens are leaking water into the headlight on one side. I was just wondering before I drop 400 bucks if those headlights will work

Default confusing contridictions from these sellers

Be sure on the fitment because most of these sellers say it fits all models like this one: "Audi A6 1998-2001 Sedan/Wagon (including Quattro, excludes 4.2L V8 models)" at this link 98 01 Audi A6 Black Projector Head Lights Angel Eyes Halogen Pair Depo | eBay
