    I find the headlights of the 348 a bit weak. Are there after market lights or conversions that would make the headlights brighter? Thanks.

    I have fit some 6000K HID bulbs recently to some of my friends cars and the Wife's car. :):)

    They are the go. Just a little bit more 'white' light than the 4300K bulbs and still VERY bright. :D:D

    When a bulb blows in the 348, I am going to fit a kit to it also. Not that I drive around at night a lot. :):)

    Hello everyone,
    Soon I will receive my new 348ts and I am super excited about it. I am all the time reading your comments to learn as much as possible!. One of the things I am thinkg about changing is the glass from the Headlights (to white) or the fog lights (to yellow). My car is french and the headlights are yellow but I prefer having the every front light in the same color. I have been looking for the glass from the headlights and I found it but I am not sure how to replace it, is it difficult?. It is quite difficult to find the glass separetly as it seems to come always with the comple headlight (bulbs included). Maybe it is easier to change the glass from the fog lights.
    What is your opinion about it?, would you go all yellow?, all white? or leave it the way it is.

    Here is a picture of my car :)

    I'd absolutely leave it exactly how it is.

    Yes, maybe is better to keep the headlights this way. I have seen som 348 with the glass from the fog lights half yellow, half white. That could be also a change to be more aligned with the headlights.

    If I am not wrong the part number should be written on the glass of the fog light. Any body has it? (Yellow). The pictures that I find on the internet are very bad quality.

    The front turn signals/fog light assemblies that are half yellow half white are French market units--that's factory. And I think the lens itself is still clear but it's the fog reflectors that are yellow.

    Thanks a lot, Ferrarium. I will but he is in the US and I am not sure if he will do I international shipping for a pair of glasses. I was asking for the reference to make it easier.

    Only ones that would have been sold in the French market originally. :)
