    Hi Gentlemen, I just have a quick question. Can anyone tell me the part number for the Left Hand Head Light for my 1995 Right Hand Drive F355? I looked at the parts catalogs but not sure which is the correct one.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Maybe worth asking the guys at Maranello classic parts (www.ferrariparts.co.uk).
    Don't have to buy from them.

    Dennis, if you need the same part as would be fitted to UK cars, it should be...

    Just a daft idea...
    While Ferrari might have designed the headlight for their F355, they would have had is made by a manufacturer, say: Hella, Carello, Cibie, Valeo... Once the F355 is out of production that model of lamp might be repurposed.

    So... this appears to be a very similar lamp to that used by Plaxton coaches (a UK bus manufacturer). It is more than likely Plaxton used an existing headlight in their design, as having one made specifically would be more expensive.

    This lamp PL0001 | Plaxton Aftercare (pictured upside down) is a Hella unit and looks very similar to the F355 unit.

    If, by chance this is the same lamp then LHD versions should also be available from Plaxtons.


    I guess this is only useful if you are really struggling to find a replacement light?


    Best of luck,

    David
