Help, I have a cracked side indicator light!

this was discussed recently, my solution was to find a plastic welder and repair it. Good luck!

 

I know what you mean ... I looked for some for my 76 american 308 and the lens that many carry are Siemas - which from what I understand was the brand used on later 3X8 series. I would suggest e-bay as used ones occasionally do pop up ... make sure you ask the seller to check if the lens do indeed say Carello.


Also, with good glue - (at least for now while you look for proper lens) you might be able to reattach the lens back on. Worth a shot .... one good brand that works good and is super cheap is 'super glue' available at Walmart. They sell a package that comes with 4 small tubes.

Good luck in any case.
Mike.

 

Try Ricambia about 20.00 each complete.

 

I just noticed the other day that I have the same problem on my 81 308 GTSi. After much thought, I decided to try the old super glue trick until I find another. I've been watching on ebay but no luck yet.

The smart guy knows what he's dumb at.

 

you should try suppiers that also break down older ferrari's like ferrparts,spelicizeditalianparts,and there's many more out there,I've had no problem finding them

 

Just make sure Ricambi has the Carello ones. From what I was doing research on - both Ricambi and T Rutlands had the Siema ones and not Carellos. Appearance wise they are almost indentical, but if you are going for time correct ....

 

I believe that's the same side indicator light that's on some alfas and fiats of the same period...can't recall which ones off the top of my head. If you have access to a foreign wrecker yard with some old alfas/fiats you'll likely find a couple that match....

 

+1

 

Matthew, I don't know how resourceful you are but, I used to get those side marker from a Fiat or Lancias at my local wrecking yard in San Jose. There use to be a dime a dozen of Fiats there, .050 cents each and some of those are good as new.

 

at the car I went to on sunday,they dinged me for a cracked indicator light,now I to have to replace one of the lights. I found some used ones at ferrparts and I'll be picking up two tomorrow,but I also saw some on e-bay for $17-$18 buy it now price,just to let you know

 

Brand new are available and they are cheap.

 

Brian,how do you but them on,do I have to take the wheel off and go from inside the wheel well? or from the trunk?

 

I have an 81 GTSI and I took the louvere off behind the headlight, and there it was and it was broken as well. BTW I'm considering painting the louvere black. Does anybody know if the black is gloss or satin on the models that had black?

 

I need to get to the one in the rear of the car,behind the rear wheel,

 

On mine, the left rear one is in the luggage compartment, and is covered by the carpet.

 

I have a 85 and so does my friend,I checked to see what kind we have and they are orginal,they're semas,maybe the earlier ones are different

 

i got two new ones at ferrparts,they have lots of them

 

The black ones are actually anodozed that color, but a semi gloss on the paintable style should be "close enough"......
