Default Spotlights - Carello 640 ?

Hi

Looking at adding spotlights to my S2 and ideally i want a new set.
(none on it at the moment and it just does not look right)

Am i right in thinking the Carello 640 light is the original spotlight that came with the car ?

I know there are some with a Ford badge in the middle as well so slightly confused as well.

Also are these still available or are they like the Carello chrome top headlights and impossible to find ? How much are they likely to cost new?

Cheers

Brand new carello's are very hard to come by mate i bought 2 single ones that are mint and cost me around £70-80, the carello 640 is the one fitted to series 1 and series 2 as standard i believe the ones with the ford sticker in the middle also look nice and are generally cheaper than the carello's, best of looking on ebay mate for a nice set or on the forum's but i may have a set in the next few days so pm me as am unsure on condition as yet

You are correct the 640 is OE. The ones with a Ford badge look wank IMO! I've just sold a very tidy 640 for £20 posted. I'm 99% sure I can get you some brand new, boxed ones but they ain't cheap!

I did see these last night and are mint I think you would find it very hard to find a set as good as these. You can trust Jas to 100% genuine

Hi ppl.

You can give tips where i can search carellos other than ebay.. sellers would not send to Finland.

This is the car in question which needs spotlights.
