lambo_sam, could you clarify which Diablo years / models used the Hella Micro DE Fog Lamps? I have seem pictures of the SV which look like they don't use them but other pictures which look like they have them. See pics below.

Also, are you saying the center arm rest and dome light are both from the 2001-11 Alfa romeo 147, 2010 Fiat punto, punto evo, punto grande? Is this one part or two?


The small round fog lights I mentioned with the link are for the 6.0 '01.

And to clarify the dome light for the center arm rest housing cover between driver and passenger for 6.0 comes from the alfa romeo and fiat

Thanks for the clarification Jim. I assume those window channels would work equally well for any of the other replicas right?

Are these the right Side Markers? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-300zx-Side-Marker-Lights-Front-Rear-1984-1986-NICE-/321372450162?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad34a6d72&vxp=mtr They look like it and the headlights came off the same car so I'm guessing they are correct.

BigPines: I don't have pics of the Nissan Marker lights at present but the Thunderbird window channels come apart in the rear upper corner.  You cut to fit and reglue as nessary.

Thanks eddie, great stuff and really helpful. I found the Audi A4 Wagon 3rd brake light right away and it looks very similar to the one on the Murcielago. If the Diablo and Murcielago lights are the same, that is probably the one you meant. However, I couldn't figure out which VW light you are talking about. Could you please send me a link to an eBay auction or give me some further details so I can figure it out?

Thanks again!

eddie, do you have more information on the LADA lights like a model number? It looks like they are not exact OEM drop-in replacements but they are a part being used in replicas so I have included them.

Is the airbag switch the same as the one used in the Murcielago? See pic below.

Jim, can you give me any further details on those side marker lights? What model of Nissan? Do you have a pic?

Are the 1996 Ford Thunderbird window channel strips exact OEM drop-in replacements or are they simply a part which can be easily made to work?

Thanks!

I am starting to realize the diablo shares many off-the-shelf parts with the Murcielago.
