RE: Lighted GTV6 window switches?



Earlier Ferrari 308's use the same window switches that the earlier ('85
style) GTV-6 uses. In fact I've been thinking about installing some of
the later lighted switches in my 308.

FWIW, it is always cheaper to buy Alfa, Fiat, or Fermaggio Primavera
parts that will fit a Ferrari, than the Ferrari part in the pretty
little yellow box with the prancing horsey on it.

Ask me how I know ... In the wonderful world of Ferrari parts we're
talking 350.00 distributor Caps (x2), 70.00 ignition rotors (x2), 35.00
pin switches in the door jambs that turn the interior light on, 40.00
brake caliper kits (1 per caliper), and 60.00 thermostats; just to name
a few things, all this on a fairly common 308 :-)

This is interesting.  I've never seen a GTV6 with lighted window 
switches but I've noticed that Ferrari 328's use the exact same 
switches, *only lighted.*  I've often considered getting a set of the 
Ferrari switches if they were affordable.  I'm sure that running an 
extra wire from the the instrument lights wouldn't be hard.  What did 
these lighted switches that you saw cost?
