Mitchell list the same part numbers for a 2004 W8 and 2005TDI. It list both halogen and xenon for both cars - but if you pick either one it's the same part number.
There does not appear to be a "frame" other than the radiator support which differs according to engine and there are 2 possible for the W8.
Based on this I would say which ever headlights you choose will mount properly.
I'd be a little concerned if it is in fact a W8 radiator support what sort of kludge was done to mount the radiator, condenser and cooling fans though.
