    I am having my 512TR completely repainted at Ferrari of Houston. Upon disassembly it was discovered that the rear lights are in poor condition due to age and heat. The availability of these seem to be poor. I have located new L/H side (Several) but no new R/H are available even from Ferrari SPA. Are there any of these being reproduced that anyone knows about?
    Ideas?

    Thanks, GO.

    They do not show these taillights as being available. Any other ideas?

    I will be at the Ferrari dealer tomorrow and I will get a photo. As I understand the USA taillights have a bit different configuration on the reverse (Clear) part than the EU spec.

    Did you call?

    I never trust what a web site says.


    This kind of thing is not done by multinational corporations that have a staff to keep the website up to date. He doesn't even have someone to answer the phone for him.

    They aren't on the testarossa, but maybe on the 512TR?

    USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Japan used one design. Everyone else another.

    Hey Brian I did call them as soon as I looked at the website as I did not see any 512TR taillight assemblies. They confirmed the website was accurate and I got a lot of interesting info about the lights and how / why Ferrari SPA will not EVER make these again. I am currently working with Maranello UK Parts and Ferrari of Houston about converting a Euro R/H side. The EURO wiring is different due to fog lights. Also the clear section on the USA has amber on the Euro lights. A simple swap of lenses may be all that is needed. I will post the results...

    I noticed that one of my internal tabs where the covers screw onto is broken. I need to figure out how to build it up. On a side note, superformance has the little screws. (But don't buy their shift knobs as they are dull and unpolished)
