    Hello gentlemen

    Need your help with these parts.
    Mine are a bit cracked, was thinking about finding new or nice used ones.
    Not so easy! Or expensive...
    But my main problem is: are the parts offered the proper ones?
    many ads say that these parts are the same on many models (308/512/mondial...) but they don't have the same reference number according to the spare parts catalogues/eurospares

    Some of you have been through this?
    Do you know if these spares are the same?
    It looks that there is a main difference: a chrome ring that only 400s have
    Is is poosible to remove that ring from the old ones and put it on the 308 parts?

    many questions though...

    And my car is at the workshop for holidays, can't go and check...

    first pics are what I have got
    Second are what I am offered
    Strange to find the same number on two different colors...

    Any advice welcome
    Thanks

    I don't think you can go wrong as long as they're the Carello's, new ones are pricey but maybe you can find 'good' used ones from cars that are being broken down.

    The correct ones will have the silver ring on them. The 308's, etc don't yet they will fit.

    +1... I just went out to the garage to check: although both 308 and 412 are the same size/diameter (Carello), the 308 (1985) has black trim while the 412 (1986) has chrome. It looks like the trim may be able to be removed/interchanged, but I didn't go as far as removing a light to verify.

    If need be, I could verify, I'm just a bit short on time this morning. LMK if needed.

    Cheers!

    Thanks!

    Obviously not the same item.
    Ours are hard to find and a bit more expensive but interchanging the chrom ring seems to be be an hazardous process...

    I'll let you know if I find more

    Tanks Dave.
    T.Rutlands is definitely the most expensive one!
    Eurospares is one of the sources I've found plus two others in Europe.
    I'm waiting for answers about availability and get sure they are the good ones as many webshops don't make differences between 400 and 308 or 512 taillights....

    I'll share the infos

    Did you call/e-mail them to verify that it's in stock? That's the only sure way with them...
    I don't trust what stock they state online as they don't maintain that part of the site (at least from my experience).
    I've been looking for conveyors for years & they still show them in stock…but they're not :(

    & I now see they have changed it to:

    NEW
    To Order
    Subject to Availability

    Finally!!

    You are right Bruce!
    I don't have answers yet, but I doubt NEW+available...
    Sure that was true in 2000. But now???

    Hello everybody.

    Sorry for being late in updating...

    Here is what I found:
    (these are only European sources as I have only found higher prices in US not to mention about shipping and import taxes)

    autobankinternational.com/ :
    Red ones 110053: 253,88 euros + 20% VAT, in stock.
    Orange ones 110054: 259,56 euros + 20% VAT to order (4 days period)

    OKP.de/Retrorosso.fr:
    Available but repro! (They claim that they are beautiful ones with the correct "chrome ring") 291,43€ each, red or orange, plus shipping.

    Eurospares:
    Available, original.
    287,63€ for the red one, 259,23€ for the orange one.
    Plus 28 pounds for shipping, either for one or a full set.
