The UK spec of what? The car or your lights? I bought many RHD cars, in Germany, which were delivered with Continental lights. I got the UK equivalents from German-Swedish car parts; when I last did it I got a pair of brand new Hella lights for an old E class for £110. I suggest you get in touch with them and quote your car make/model and VIN number and they should be able to help.

Much the same but usually slightly cheaper and larger, nicer premises: www.eurocarparts.com

I would have thought that Audi 89 would be an internal designation, although usually Audi go on platform numbers (I think this would be a B4 but stand to be corrected).

Unfortunately because yours is quite an unusual car, there isn't much supply of pattern parts.

Probably a bit too late for you!

It is permissible for MoT purposes to blank the beams with plastic tape (or Beam Deflectors). You may have to quote chapter and verse to the MoT Test tho!
