I have the plastic tail lights for a Ferrari 355, but no bulb sockets. Is there a socket other than Ferrari that fits? Please and thank you.

The trick about modifying them is you have to lightly tack weld the two metal pieces of the socket together. The base that holds the bulb has to be welded to the "fingers" (for lack of a better term) that goes into the tail light hole holding the socket to the tail light. Then you have to grind the socket so it's square so it will fit in the reverse light hole. Be careful not to grind too much off. The reason you have to tack weld the two pieces together is because if you don't when you grind it square they will no longer be attached.
I'll try to post some pictures tonight. I actually still have to modify and install one of mine because I grinded to much off of the first one.[url]http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/build-diaries/8454-my-official-ad355-build-thread-sactodreamer.html[/url]

You will need 10 of the sockets at around $4-$5 each. It's easiest to order them from your autoparts store since they only stock 2-4 at a time. It took me about 3 weeks to gather 10.[url]http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/build-diaries/8454-my-official-ad355-build-thread-sactodreamer.html[/url]
