Side lights for a imported 365GT4 2+2

365's did not have front or rear side lights originally. Yours were likely fitted when the car was imported to the U.S and might have been be sourced from anywhere. It may even be possible that they were never connected.
U.S. delivered Daytonas and C4's had particularly ugly side lights with chrome surrounds - maybe these are they?

The wiring for my side lights just "spliced" into running lights front and rear. This was done by the importer for our cars. Look at a Euro car and they don't have these lights. Ken

 

I hope these two pics will help identify the connector.

There are no marks on the white bulb holder. The front red face is marked Carello 14500.718 and back side which is orange is marked 14500.748, two pieces are fused together. Front also says SAE AP 170 DOT. Your red piece likely says the same.

You might try Re-originals; he has two pages of bulb holders: http://reoriginals.com/lights_18.aspx
This ebay seller has 198 Carello listings; I only check first page but a lot of Alfa lights.

Mr Fiat has MANY Carello light fittings. This 388 Dino side marker has simlar back. https://mrfiat.com/ferrari-dino-208-308-gt4-carello-side-marker-light-35-mm.html

Superformance and eurospares do sell these Carello at a more affordable price, but unfortunately none of them do sell the bulb socket alone. Some alfaromeo did use the same socket on their bigger side repeater, at a cheaper price, so your best bet is to hunt for any Carello Side repeater of that era and salvage the socket.

A cheaper alternative would be this excellent source provided by Newman earlier this week:

Not water tight but you could make it do with dielectric grease and led bulbs.

 

Good day All,

On a side note... the side maker lights that Ken mentioned can be found significantly cheaper at Superformance (19 GBP/$26USD vs $146 USD from Mr. Fiat).

Also Superformance does offer very similar marker lights (on the same web page I mentioned) as to what the original poster has for 30GBP ($40USD).

Cheers,

Sam

 

Here are my lamps......

Molded in info is.....SEIMA 45.38 on one end.....SAE AP 2 76 DOT on the other. My car came in thru Jersey, so whatever they had on the shelf went on the corner.
