Default I don't have them but I have a question.

Where was your wire open on the ABS sensors. How far from the sensor. Is there any particular spot where the problem occurs. Do you have any pictures?

Default I have a "Spare" Driver Side Lens from my 98 A8,

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/13362/lensa8.jpg"></center><p>but I'm not looking to "give" it away, since it's my only spare. Having replaced a couple of these in the past I know I will need one again. However send me an E-mail and maybe we can figure something out.
Either way: I recommend not to drive around with a broken lens, the reflector gets dull/fogy in a hurry.

Default abs sensor.. Mine was about 6 inches up..

I used 18 gauge wire. It was very easy to fix. Just make sure once you fix it make it water tight. Also the insulation on the abs wire is pretty thick and the wires inside are very thin. There are two wire inside.. solder and heat shrink.

Default Re: abs sensor.. Mine was about 6 inches up..

Same here, right between the clip on the shock and the clip on the chassis, at the top of the freeplay slack. You might want to consider using "liquid tape" on the solider connection before the heat shrink. Available at Radio Shack.

Default You have to order them from Europe.........

In order to replace the headlight glass in the USA you have to purchase the ENTIRE headlight assembly $$$!!! In Europe you can purchase just the glass for around $50US. Part numbers:

4D0 941 115 Left (Driver's) Side
4D0 941 116 Right Side

I purchased them here: http://www.audi-zentrum-kiel.de/
(Thanks to Kjell for the help locating the dealer and the part numbers!)

If you order from them, pay them extra to have them packaged better than the stock Audi factory packaging- I ordered two sets and one of the four unis arrived in little pieces. Also it would help to have someone that speaks German order them over the phone. I ordered them via email and unsed an online translator to communicate with them, but when I called with my credit card information my very limited German did come in handy.
