oldjag,
The "usual suspects" for euros, like
www.blauparts.com , you might also try
Shokan as the good Type 44's are showing up at the wrecking yards in North
America now with some frequency. You could also post a request on the
Audifans quattro newsgroup or in the Classifieds (If it's not still down).
I installed a set of 5000 non-turbo euros in my 5ktq, and it mates well with
a V8 hood (looks kinda sinister, actually, especially when the car was
resprayed in a near-black Ming Blue Metallic). Import Vision Motorsports in
Cali sell the non-turbo euros made by DEPO (not Bosch or Hella) - lesser
quality but, according to some q-listers, way better than the DOT lights and
cheaper. I have clear corners from them with a 30 LED 2-phase amber bulb in
the clear corners (sockets from a junkyard Mercedes) and turn
signals/parking lights in the corners freeing up the bumper space for
driving lights.
Regarding the idle speed, look to:

Cutting the wire is a "hack" or "bodge" (as it is called over the pond) -
you're "fixing" the symptom and not the problem. I'd go through all of the
checks on Scott's site and find out why the module is keeping the revs up.
Cheers!
