no, they will not fit without modification. I have one peice e-code headlights. It requires dremeling the fender just a little bit. It's not really a big deal, and the light output is well worth it.

I don't know if you could pay someone to do this. You could do it yourself though. There is two writeups in the tech section of audiworld.com.
It's not really that bad of a job, it should take about 2 hours and requires a dremel or similar tool.

you can put 1 piece lights on the older 2 piece model.
I did it with my old 98 (2 weeks before the accident).
You use a dremel to trim off part of the fender that is normally under the signal light on the 2 piece lights.
You need to take your time but it is not hard.

Yep Daytona A4QV6 those are the lights! I also bought mine at ECS Tuning. The light ouput of the euro ecodes is SOOOOO much better than north american pre 1999.5 (glass). If you want I could probably come up with a tech writeup.

Yep sure is, ECS is only an hour from my house, their shop is pretty cool! You can also buy two piece lights that look almost the same as the veleo's. Then you don't have to cut your fender, but the quality isnt nearly as good and they don't look quite as nice.
