I have even seen the rear round taillights in clear for 355, looked kinda interesting, and I'm not into the rice effect. But I did change me TR fronts to clear, go figure.
OK that was only slightly of the topic..

If that is the case then, what do you figure about the different connecting cables? (I trust your word for it 100% Modman, but I am still curious and just wanna be thorough)
Anyone? |

Eric, it simply is plug and play we do clear lens swap outs almost everyday on a lot of vehicles, but you have to have the amber bulb in the clear front lenses to be legal. |

I actually am split on the clear and orange lens lamps on the 355, maybe leaning a little bit more towards clear. On different color cars, I think, the effects of the clears are much more impressive (i.e. metallics, blues, silvers, and blacks). Our car is Rosso Corsa, however, and for a while I've been toying with the idea of getting the clears.
One thing that I did notice though in our parts manual though is that the Euro lamps (the clears) also have listed different connecting cables for other than USA cars (PartN. 160835 [non-USA] and 161643 [valid for USA cars]). Though it seems like most of you are saying its just buy clears and "plug n play", but it seems that there would be some reason for having different connecting cables. Though I haven't asked the dealer any of this or done other research, I am wondering what you guys' opinions is on this.
Does it not matter at all what kind of connecting cables you have, or is this something you haven't yet taken into consideration. I appreciate your input on this.
Thanks,
Eric |

The clear looks great.
You can order them from any Ferrari Dealer.
They are OEM European Spec lights, come with bulbs and plug and play.
The outer have orange bulbs and the center have clear.

Ferrari of Orange county, you buy them there, also AMG in L.A. has them where they do conversions and you might get them for free in exchange for your amber ones. |

curious to hear about this as well.
i've swapped some lights on my 996 from amber to clear (with amber bulb) - basically to put it back to euro (original) spec.
i've wondered about this on the f-car too.

from amber.
Is it my understanding that amber is for North America only.
IF you changed them did you change the turn signals. Just interested cuz I think clear looks better.
Thanks
