Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights?
« on: 18 July, 2008, 07:33:10 AM »
Hi,

Does anyone know the make and model of the original additional driving/spot/fog lights fitted to 2/3 series Fulvia Montecarlo's? Then comes the inevitable question, anyone also know where I can source a pair?

Presently have round period Carello's but thinking of swapping to the more factory originals… attached is a period picture for help

Any help much appreciated

If you have a copy of the TAV's you will find them in there (p63A/3).

They are Carello PF Polaris (Carello 02.308.000). As they are not handed I would imagine that Italian Ebay would be a good place to start.

Many thanks, will start looking!

Much as they maybe the correct lights, I can't say that from an asthetic point of view I've ever liked rectangular spotlights on a car with round headlamps. but that's just me ;D

Looks like they may be impossible to find anyway, still look for a little longer but will probably stay with my existing ones as I agree they probably look better anyway…

…other members thoughts?

It is now possible to buy Cibia Oscar replica which look great either as a pair or two up and two down

Very, very difficult to find the original Carello foglights for the Fulvia Montecarlo. I have seen them once at a classic car swapmeet on sale for a silly price.

As an alternative, my S2 Coupe when it came from Italy in 1982 had Cibie foglights fitted with H1 bulbs  (see below), not quite the same as the Carello model, they also have a smaller modern version available also being rectangular.

Thanks for the update and picture, but I will stick to my NOS round Carello's for now unless I find the correct Montecarlo's at some point the the probably distant future (they kind of look cuter too!). ;)
