Ferrari 400 Pop-up light : glass lenses brand : Carello / Hella / Cibie

At my 400 appraisal it was remarked that two different brands were used for the glass lenses in the pop-up lights. The high beam lense was by Carello and the low beam was by Hella.

I would expect that both should be by Carello. However I seriously doubted if they had been damaged in the past and replaced by a different ones. In fact these lights are hardly used.

In order to find out I posted a request on FChat so others could check this as well. The first response is by a 400i owner from 1982. He has a Carello for the high beam and Cibie for low beam. This make sense to me (since also the fog-lights for the 400i are provided by Cibie). It's at least interesting to see they seem to make use of different brand lenses. Let's await a few more responses.
