If I had an Italian delivered car those original Italian market lenses would always remain on the car.
Whatever you decide do not get rid of those lenses. Original Bosch Italian market lenses are not easy to come by.

I got the Italian lenses from Sierra Madre. At least I think they're Italian. My car was just happy to have 4 that matched.

They lack the Bosch logo if that's important to you.



Here's from an earlier post. Try to find a supplier that sells a total package.

These lenses are amazingly good. They'll never pass as original but they will get you through any PCA judging.

This lens is also a good example of why Sierra Madre is so frustrating. The rear lens comes with all of the necessary hardware. It's a plug and play.

The front turn signal lens comes with nothing. You have to buy the attaching screws separately. The people at Sierra Madre couldn't even locate the necessary washers. What's even worse is the description never tells you what you might need to do the job. They need to upgrade their descriptions. Seriously. They also need to be able to locate parts that they have in stock.

btw - Stoddard's isn't much better.

Richard the lens in the photo you attached is the EUROPEAN version.
(1/4 white + 3/4 orange)

The only-italian version is this:
(3/4 white + 1/4 orange)
This is valid for both trim, silver and black

Thanks. I have trouble keeping all of this straight. I'm just happy to have matching untracked lenses.
