Just get new reflectors, or get them rechromed. Their really easy to get off and take apart. A whole new headlamp is normally very expensive if you can find one.

No they arent available from audi dealers anymore. Your best bet would be to get them resilvered. Alternatively try ebay, they do come up occasionally. Also worth noting, their interchangable between o/s and n/s.

Just make sure you put them back the right way up
My dad rebuilt some sets I had resilvered and everyone was upside down

Quattrorob sells them on ebay and can also offer an exchange basis.
