348 Rear round light conversion kit (2014)

If no one comes up with anything, and you're handy with tools, PM me and I can give you a quick rundown on how I made mine.

I still make an occasional LeMans Grill as I have time.

You can do a thread search to see what they look like.

 

There real.....and there spectacular

very nice! Clean application & looks factory, not obvious aftermarket stuff.

 

Love that conversion...the stock look on the rear of the 348 is not great IMO and doesn't hold up to the amazing side and front view of the car.

 

Favorite Mod I made to my old car. Husker makes a quality part, great customer service, and detailed instructions.

...but I think those wheels might be even more so!

Are those TR rims?

That's one sharp car! Sheez I miss my 348!

 

Me and my dad felt the same a number of years ago. We set about designing something in his garage that would make the 348 appear more like a traditional Ferrari.

You can't imagine the hours and expense that goes into getting to something that looks correct, and that can be duplicated, but it was great fun with my dad and I will treasure that time with him forever.

 

Wow, that does look awesome! What does that grill cost?

 

All you are trimming is the taillight bracket frame (tin), as the slots are rectangular and the openings are not tall enough to accommodate the round tail lights. (Round peg in square hole delimma!)

The taillight bracket is not a structural part of the car's body.

Same would be true for a 355 challenge grill mod, UNLESS you set it up so that the tail lights are set out further over the bumper by about 2.3 inches. That's not visually acceptable IMO.

 

I was gonna say that Husker is the guy to ask.

 

Terrific job, Paul.

 

Nope, just stock 355 rims.

 

This is the kit to have if you want to modernize the look of the 348. If I did not have a SS, this is what I would do. All Ferarri's have round tail lights - except that Bertone 308GT4 because they didn't get the memo.

 

I actually bought some 355 lights as I was going to do this mod but decided it just didnt quite look right so abandoned the idea.

I do however like this one that appears to use mondial (I think) lights. Has anyone done it?

Hope you like it, we used a 355 Challenge Grill and 355 OEM lights. I had a High End body shop do the work, there was no cutting what so ever anywhere and the light's sit perfectly not too far out or in and at the right angle.

Hope you like, round lights on a 348 are great!

Albert, could you post some photos of the inside of the engine bay - as the tail lights relate to the rectangular taillight mounting bracket? Something has to give somewhere, as those lights do not fit into the rectangular bracket - they are 1 inch too tall.

 

I will take photos tomorrow and post!

 

Since your taillight housing bracket wasn't modified, it must be that the lenses were in order to fit?

 

+1

Thats what made me give up - I didnt want to damage the framework of the car but the kight fiting was just too big for the gaps -hope these pics whilst I was experimenting help. Like what Alberts car looks like
