    Does anyone have any photos or know what a 1985 308 US model turn signal unit would look like, my car was in an accident before I owned it, so I'm not sure the turn signal assembly units are right. They fit into the US bumper but only because the tabs have been cut off on the side or shortened. So I don't know if I have the correct factory US bumper or a replica or turn signal units are European ones. The turn signal units is black with orange lenses. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the photo, I'm wanting to see the whole unit not attached to the bumper. I need to see if it has tabs with a hole for a bolt. Here is what mine looks similar to. My car is in the shop so i do not have a photo. But I found this one on ebay.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the photos!! The black tap on the side are they cut to that length to fit into the bumper or are they manufactured to that length?

    Thanks

    If I recall my light when I replaced it had a slot for that tab not a bolt.

    Yes, the 308 USA QV has the tab broken off for it to fit in the USA bumper.

    If you are interested, I have a brand new pair from Ferrari, but they have chrome surrounds (they do not make the black surrounds any more) = you will have to paint them black. See the link my first post, in my link above. I also might have others. I don't have them with me right now to check.
    Note that the newer productions have a thinner lens = it is best to buy in pairs unless it is from a donor.

    So you believe the tabs with the hole were cut off down at the Ferrari factory to fit the US models?

    Thanks

    Yes. I just had mine replaced (because the chrome area where the screw attached broke) and was surprised to find out the tab was trimmed and needs to be to fit in the notch in the USA bumper. The replacements needed to have their tabs trimmed - same as the original - up to mid-way of the screw hole.
