When you can't find parts you need to get creative. I've modified several of these lights using LED strip lights. A cold cathode unit can be used too. RTV silicone is used to water-proof it against corrosion. I went this route after I found the bulbs are expensive and the housing is crap. Open to mo...

Re: Wanted: 87 - 90 Beretta

Out of all the Berettas I've owned, I've never had any transmission problems with the 5-speed cars. I am able to fix those. Automatics, not so much. If I have to change a clutch, I know it's going to work when I put it back in. Car thieves don't steal manual trans cars as much. Not as many people kn...

Re: WTB - Ignition column part

This is a common part to any Beretta/Corsica tilt column. 87 to 96. I've replaced several, even one on my own car.

I wish I could post pictures, but don't have that ability.
