348 foglight curse -- Help?

Man I feel for ya. My 328 suffered a similar fate the year before last. Why do F-car fog lights have to be so difficult to replace? Good luck finding a replacment.

 

Don't sweat it..

I don't think Yellow will look bad. Actually, I think it will look good.

Put the yellow on, keep checking eBay for someone parting a 348 out.
They do pop up on there.

 

Speaking of......... Daniel are the 355 fog lights still available?? Nothing wrong with mine but just curious..... .

 

There will be something wrong with them sooooon

 

Wow, Eric, really sorry to hear about that. And today was such a nice day for driving in our area, sorry that it was spoiled by such bad luck.

Yes. F355 lamps are no problem.

Call Russ at ferrparts.com
It turns out that they're a kickass company to deal with on used parts, great quality and even better price!!
I'm not affiliated, just a very recently VERY satisfied customer!!

I'll be showing off the goodies I got from them after I turn some wrenches this weekend!

 

Let this be a lesson to all of us to cover those things with polycarbon film. I lost one last year and I swear I got the last NOS part in the world! Still, I have been looking for a retrofit to a more modern, but similar appearing part. Yep, they'll be square but that ends the right left thing. Then there's the body filler piece/trim ring necessary. Someone with more skill than I needs to look into this...

 

Fantastic!!!

 

Well join the club. I have a busted out driver side fog light. It's been that way for well over a year, and actually I don't care. I'll get a new one eventually, but then I'm gonna put some sort of Lexan cover over it. That way the Lexan takes the abuse. But until I get the gumption I'm just gonna keep on driving it with the busted out fog light.

 

I got Dan's last fog lamp!!!!! NaNananaaaaa!!!!!

Right side only though or I would send it to you.

 

I put the 3M film over mine. $18 for enough of that mondo-thick stuff to do both fog lights at least twice over.

That being said, the race covers used on the Challenge track cars and 348 Competiziones looks pretty good, too.


Hey, didn't one of the 348 Brothers in Spain do a run of fog light lenses??

 

I dunno?

Is there a thread in the Euro section?

 

Found him!

First, this Fchatter has the OEM 348 fog light lenses: www.lascuderiarossa.com

Second, this 348 Brother had some made from molds: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/member.php?u=41452
For sale here: http://www.automuseu.com/

Third, here's the cheap but thick and effective film to protect those lenses: http://www.xpel.com/products/universalhl.asp

 

I'm all for this idea - I sometimes think an evil looking array of german LED bars would suit the car.

Or http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/images/2476L.jpg which would allow you to leave the pop-up lights retracted & still drive at night.

Heaven forbid I modify a Ferrari, though.

 

Any recommendations for a 3m or lexan cover? Where to buy?/Just cut and place over light, install?? and more info on this??
TIA

 

This is the clear film I used. I selected this one because it was the thickest I could find -- 40 mils.

Two 6"x12" sheets were enough for the fog lights. I made a paper template by tracing the lights, then transferred it on to the film and cut it with an X-Acto knife.

Thanks so much for the info!!

 

Eric,

Daniel has sent me a light to see if I can have the mold made for the glass, AND figure out how to get the glass off and replaced... as I said in another thread, it's a work in progress... but I have a group of engineers primed and ready to tackle the problem.

Sorry to hear about your 'curse' ... we're hoping we can offer a solution...
