Default Real HID on '99 taken from a '00???Diff. between 99 & 99.5???

I am planning on purchasing a 99 Audi A4 Quattro next week. I got a couple of questions:

Is it possible to purchase oem headlights from the 00 A4 (xenon) and put them in the '99 (Are they interchangble)???

What is the differnece between a 99 and 99.5?

How can I tell the differnce when buying it (from an auction)?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

'99 had 2-piece headlights; '99.5 had 1-piece projectors

Default You can put them in but gonna run into trouble w/ the bulb adaptor plates...

...as OEM Xenons don't have the H7 bulb adaptor plate found on your 99 two-pice.
