The outer headlamps are the only ones you need to replace for MOT purposes. DeLorean GO, Ed Uding at DeLorean Europe, and even the DOC shop have them. Not short on choice.
I've not heard of people using Audi headlamps i'll admit. Curious now.

These are the ones you need: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302429567629?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
Please remember though they are not a direct replacement you will need to do some modifications to the headlamp buckets so they fit properly. I can supply the instructions around this if required. I believe the new headlight buckets Ed sells have a larger hole at the back to accommodate these lights.

just picking up on this thread, i thought the Delorean go lights do not require a bucket mod, they come with a shorter side light fitting that does not foul the headlight bucket..
though i've yet to fit mine.

IIRC fittings. The ones they sell are the ones in the link above.

I didnt modify my buckets to accommodate the headlights from Dgo. They fit just fine. I also swapped all 4 so they matched
