    I have clear glass headlight lens on my 85 euro 308. The left one has a crack across it and I am trying to replace it. I can not find any clear glass headlights. Has anyone heard of euro 308's with an unpatterned front headlight? I am to the point where I guess I will have to replace both with a patterned light just so they match. Any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks. I will look closely at the lights to see if that is correct. I really appreciate the input. Will let you know if those work.

    Way to go Robert. Do you live on the internet? Nice to have your contributions.
    P.S you wouldn't know the Powerball # for this week? You can PM me so we don't have to split it 1000 ways with others.

    When I got into my new Ferrari I knew I would need parts and stuff so I wrote a search worm specific to searching out Ferrari or Ferrari similar parts and things. The weak link that I am updating all the time are inacurate xref for parts that are generic found among the various threads. So I need to test over and over and when I stumble on someone looking for something off goes the worm. Sometimes it doesn't come back, but other times it works, sort of. Sorry no lottery numbers..........yet.

    Crowndog - I looked at the lights and they are indeed as you say clear in the front and patterned in the reflector. It looks like the mercedes lights will work. The both take the H4 bulb and are the same diameter for the clear lens. I will order from Mercedes lights on monday and let you know the fit. (I have to call them because their program requires you to put in the year and model of the mercedes and you can't order without listing the mercedes model). Thanks again.

    I think I mentioned that you can also get them from Amazon. Good luck!

    Why not convert to HID?

    And if you need the crome ring that secures the headlight in place (I did), it's not available from Ferrari sources (that I now of) but you can buy them from a Fiat dealer.
    Tell them it's for a 124 Spider :)

    I have the chrome rim but thanks for the future knowledge. I had not thought about converting to HID as I have been happy with the H4 bulbs. Haven't done much nighttime driving anyway.
    Thanks for all the input. I purchased from Mercedes-wheels. Will let you know how it works. Total was 39.99 plus shipping of 9.99.
