Audi model 80 and 90 have identical headlights?
So I can only find model 80 headlights available and vendors don't seem to have a clue. Could someone confirm for me that these two models had the same headlight? I'm 99% on it but don't want to put in an order only to find out a week later that they're not. I have a 1990 model 90.
Thanks in advance!

When did the B4 take over? These are for a 1991 model 80. I assumed the 1990 and 1991 model 80s were the same, but I'm getting a bad feeling.
I've been waiting a week for a set of headlights, called the company and got a tracking number. Two days later the tracking number still did not pop up with a shipping update. Got suspicious and called UPS. They said that package is not in their system. So today I ordered a pair of the Model 80 headlights at a higher price. They are listed for years 1991, 92, 93, 94. I'm now guessing that the 1991 and the later models are different. Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

When I look at the forum's pages the model 80 front end is the same 1990/1991/1992 but when I look at Google and the like the hood has changed from a straight across hood in 1991, to a hood with a part that swoops down and under the hood. I can't tell if the headlamp also changed.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about depo h4 euro headlights off ebay and if so yes you're going to end up with B4 lights that don't fit your car. For some reason the ebay sellers have stopped carrying the b3 depo's. If enough people e-mail them and ask for the b3 lights they would likely start carrying them again. If you want b3 depo's now you have pay for shipping from one of the Latvian sellers etc.

Grumble, grumble. Sounds like I'm going to get the wrong ones - they've shipped. Anyone have a link to the Latvian or other sources for 80/90 headlamps? Thanks.
If I get a buddy in Europe to send some euro lights, do I need any additional parts or trim pieces? I would have him find just the regular euro lights - not the electrically height adjustable ones.
