Default Lamborghini and Nissan sharing parts!

Now, I found this out recently, and I think this is outrages


When Audi bought Lamborghini in 1998, they revised the Diablo to what is now know as the Diablo 6.0 vt, they did few changes to the front and the back. With that change they got rid of the pop up headlights.

However instead of designing and putting new headlight in, Audi decided to use the headlights from the old generation of the Nissan 300zx.

Now where is the logic? I know that car manufacturers sometimes swap parts to save some cost, but a rich company like Audi can afford to spend a bit more money to redesign a headlight for a well know and exclusive supercar manufacturer like Lamborghini.

What do you guy think? Was it ok for Audi to do this, or was it a cheap act on Audis part?
