Hi All, I was looking to buy a nice used Ferrari 458. Now I found one to my liking , but it's imported from the USA. (and located 1200km from my house) You can see the orange reflectors on the side (front and back) of the car. My question, what happens if you remove them? Are they embedded in the carwork or are they just stickers wich I can remove? Thanks in advance! Tim
The figure in the 458 SPC indicates that there is a hole behind them for a bulb socket and some wiring: FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS - Ricambi America, Inc.
There are bulbs inside. a friend of mine wanted to remove them but would need new bumpers front and back. 25k $ or so job. removing the lights will trigger an error code that leads all the way to the airbags so your car will be in limp mode if it's a post 9/2010 software. You can have the bulbs repositioned somewhere towards the inside where it's not seen and have a shop put a layer of color or a wrap around the reflectors to blend it with the body. Good luck!
