    Some object on the freeway got churned-up and hit my 355. Not a scratch to my paint.....but the front-right turn-signal lens (amber colored) got a huge crack and almost shattered. I'm sick of everyone pointing it out...time to blow some coin to fix something what should cost about $4

    Best price thus far is $170, and that's the complete unit...apparently the lens itself is not available.

    Please, no lectures on how lucky I am that it wasn't my windshield or fender :)

    Anybody??????

    I Steve,

    I just ordered a clear set of euro lens to replace my factory amber lens. If you can endure people poiting out your cracked lens for a while longer, I am happy to give you my amber lens. NO Cost and in perfect condition. How's that for a deal thats hard to refuse? Tim

    Wait till you break the fog light lens! What I did with every Ferrari I have purchased is immediately Stongard the lights.

    http://www.stongard.com/sgcontent/default.asp

    Call and they will give you a 15% FCA discount. Get the kit to cover the headlights, fog lights and amber turn signal lenses.

    Tim,

    I didn't want to bring this up.....but Tim: you are my father AND you complete me! (well, you and Jon together) :) That is an amazing gesture and I can not express how appreciative I am for it!!! Thanks!!!!!!!

    Hmmmm...I may need some chrome wheels to go with that new lens??? ;)

    Hey Robin....remember when I gave you my old tires for free and told you that I'll get paid back with good Ferrari karma....well: it's payback time and I'm a happy guy!! :) :) :) Not that I won't find a way to return the favor to Tim.

    Oh...and before I forget, props to Darth550 who undoubtedly will lecture me about the fine merits of having paid my $15 for membership on an awesome board that has YES, well paid for itself several times over.

    happy happy joy joy joy......:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    It's not just the lens......it's the whole assembly, right? Cause my understanding is that the lens alone is not available and we have to buy an entire assembly.....??

    Steve,

    I ordered the "Ferrari 355 Euro Clear Corner Lights Set $299" from HGParts. You can view the lights under the "355 special parts" index at their website. Sorry, I could not get the link to post. I believe that this is the whole assembly, but can not be certain. Tim

    Yes, it is. I considered it. I think the clear looks great on the titanium, blue and a few other colors. The Red though...well, amber works very nicely with it and given my choice I'd actually prefer to stay with it. Good/great point though!

    Hey guys. I just got a 96 355 gts 6 spd and would like to replace the front fog lite lenses as they are a bit sandblasted. the units work fine. I tried to find hg parts no luck. ricambi did not have in catalog. Can I get just the lenses? Where from? (besides the stealer).

    thanks.

    I do have the lenses... Do you want Euro lenses (clear) or US Spec? The Euro ones that most people choose are here:

    http://ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?products_id=203651 and
    http://ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?products_id=203652

    Right & left, respectively.
